The property has faced various other maintenance challenges, including emergency heat/hot water issues in April 2025 (resolved within a day), and multiple reports of food establishment violations in 2025.

The building has also had recurring concerns regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021-2024.
Between 2020 and 2024, the property generated multiple complaints related to illegal commercial use, resulting in a partial vacate order in December 2021, and various construction violations including unauthorized work in the basement and roof areas. Recent inspections have indicated ongoing maintenance needs, with the most recent Rodent Inspections in 2025 showing a pattern of failed initial inspections followed by compliance passes, suggesting challenges in maintaining pest control standards. The property has also received several Notices of Violation related to various building code requirements, including emergency safety issues such as exit passageway obstructions in late 2021.
