The building has experienced recurring issues with essential services over the past several years, with the most recent complaints in July 2024 involving heat/hot water and water supply problems that were subsequently resolved, alongside bathtub/shower concerns.

The property has documented multiple instances of heating system problems, including emergencies in 2023 and 2022, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining adequate building systems. Electrical issues have also been prevalent, with power outages and lighting problems reported in 2024 and 2023 respectively, though access for inspections was not granted in these cases. The building's maintenance history shows several violations and repairs needed in common areas, including door and lock issues documented in December 2022, though these were subsequently addressed.

While the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the past five filing periods from 2020 to 2025, it has faced challenges with rodent control, failing inspections in September and November 2022. The building has undergone multiple inspections and received various violation notices, including requirements to post heating system access information in 2023 and to file annual bedbug reports in 2022. Most violations have been closed, but the pattern of repeated heating and electrical issues indicates ongoing maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and basic services.
