The building's elevator system has presented persistent concerns, with multiple complaints and violations between 2023 and 2025, including issues with door mechanisms, safety features, and service interruptions, resulting in substantial penalties. The building has also faced multiple rat activity inspections, with the most recent in February 2025 showing bait application. Recent inspections of apartment 6H (June 2024) revealed several maintenance issues including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, ceiling and wall conditions, and bathroom mildew, while apartment 4K (April 2024) had similar concerns regarding paint and plaster conditions.

The building's management has been cited for failure to properly address and certify corrections for various immediately hazardous violations, leading to active ECB violations with corresponding penalties totaling over $10,000. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases between 2018-2024. The property, built in 1942, has undergone various maintenance challenges as evidenced by the extensive record of service requests, violations, and complaints, particularly focusing on its heating system, elevator safety, and general building maintenance standards.
