Recent maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, with emergency water leak complaints documented in both 2020 and 2021, along with violations related to unsanitary conditions including mold and wall damage in late 2021.

The building's infrastructure appears to have undergone some code violations regarding water leaks, plaster surfaces, and mold conditions, particularly affecting basement units. Recent inspections indicate improved conditions, with rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no evidence of infestation. The building's overall maintenance record is marked by recurring issues with water damage and mold, though many of these problems were addressed through issued violations and subsequent repairs. The most recent documented violations were certified as corrected in February 2022, and there have been no new violations related to the previously noted issues in the past three years, suggesting improved maintenance practices. The building has also passed its most recent rodent inspection in May 2025, indicating improved pest management.
