The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints in November 2023 involving multiple urgent problems including radiator issues, water leaks, heating problems, and unsanitary conditions related to pests. While inspections were conducted for these complaints, no violations were issued, though there were access issues for the heat and hot water inspection.

The building has a history of pest-related concerns, with violations issued in July 2022 for pest infestations in the second-floor apartment, along with various maintenance issues including broken ceramic tiles and deteriorated surfaces. Historical records show the building has faced several significant maintenance challenges over the years. In 2022, multiple violations were documented in the second-floor apartment, including lead paint hazards, broken tiles, and plaster surface issues, though most of these violations remain open.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection conducted in April 2025, though there were failures noted in 2017 and 2018. There were also some structural concerns raised in 2018 regarding the front facade and second-level parapet, which resulted in fines. Notably, the building has maintained a pest-free status in recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, and there have been consistently passed rodent inspections in recent years, indicating some improvement in pest management.
