The property has shown serious deficiencies in maintaining basic services, as evidenced by the repeated heat and hot water outages, while bedbug reports have generally shown no infestations in recent years, with only three units affected in 2019. The building's historical data also reveals various structural concerns, including reports of building shaking/vibrations in 2022 and 2024, though inspections did not find immediate violations at those times.
