The property has experienced recurring issues with its elevator system, with multiple complaints between 2023 and 2025 indicating reliability problems, including periods when the only elevator was out of service and complaints about various safety features. In 2024, significant elevator-related violations were issued, with associated fines totaling $2,875.

More recently, in May 2025, the building faced several related issues, including electrical problems (outlets and power outages), water-related emergencies (toilet and bathtub/shower issues), and pest concerns, all of which resulted in HPD violations requiring corrections. The building's maintenance history shows improvements in some areas, such as rodent inspections passing consistently since 2023, though there were multiple failed inspections for other reasons in 2021-2022. The property has undergone various repairs and improvements in recent years, with violations from late 2024 showing significant issues in apartments 201 and 414, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), floor and wall damage, and various maintenance concerns, all of which were certified as corrected by early 2025.

The building's systems have faced challenges, including a boiler violation in early 2024 and multiple elevator-related violations throughout 2023-2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance concerns. While the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations since 2018, there have been various maintenance violations requiring attention, including issues with flooring, electrical systems, and plumbing. The most recent complaints include an active elevator complaint from November 2024 regarding single device service with no alternate, indicating that some critical infrastructure issues may persist.
