Apartment 2C has been particularly affected by maintenance issues, with multiple violations recorded in early 2024 including mold conditions, water leaks, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with results showing past rat activity in late 2023 and 2024, though most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 have passed. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since 2019. The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and repairs, with some issues being categorized as emergencies.

These include heating system problems, water leaks, and plumbing issues that required immediate attention. In late 2023, apartment 1A was cited for multiple violations including unsafe electrical wiring, an improperly fitting entrance door, and a defective electrical light switch cover. While several violations have been addressed and certified as corrected, some remain open as of the most recent inspections. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning basic services such as heat and hot water, which have been the subject of numerous tenant complaints and HPD inspections over the past two years.
