The property has documented heating and hot water issues, with complaints in May 2025 about these systems affecting the entire building. There have also been several flooring problems reported, particularly concerning defects in the building's stairways and hallways.
The building has an active rodent control history, with multiple inspections showing rat activity throughout 2024 and 2025, and several instances of bait application in response to these findings.
