The 7-story, 16-unit residential building at 2881 Valentine Avenue, constructed in 2006 and managed by 2881 Valentine Ave LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The most pressing concerns involve frequent water-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints about water leaks (including heavy flows and slow leaks) and plumbing issues, particularly affecting the bathroom facilities. There have also been consistent problems with heat and hot water supply, with several complaints issued in 2025 and earlier.

The building faced significant elevator service disruptions, particularly noted between February and March 2023, when multiple complaints were filed about the single elevator being out of service, resulting in an ECB violation for $1,250. Other notable issues include environmental concerns such as water damage (documented in 2024) and previous violations regarding exterior wall maintenance and critical examination reports. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during HPD inspections, with multiple instances where inspectors were unable to complete their evaluations and required tenants to resubmit complaints.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent years, and passed multiple rodent inspections, indicating generally effective pest control measures. Significant historical violations include exterior wall maintenance issues documented between 2021-2024, with particular attention to problems with patio locks, interior plumbing fixtures, and instances of pest infestations in Unit 2F. The building's management has been required to address various violations, including those related to building safety systems and maintenance of common areas. While most violations have been resolved, as of 2025 there remain open violations that require attention, particularly those involving water damage and maintenance of bathroom facilities.
