The building also has outstanding Class A bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, and an immediate Class C violation from January 2021 regarding locked access to the heating system in the boiler room. A significant incident occurred in 2021 related to illegal short-term rentals, with the Department of Buildings issuing multiple environmental control board violations against the property owner for unauthorized occupancy of Apartment #1, including failure to provide required fire alarm systems and sprinklers for transient use, with associated penalties exceeding $37,500. The building also had various maintenance issues requiring attention, including plumbing problems and window repairs in 2021.

The property has undergone several inspections and permit issuances, with the most recent permits being filed in 2020 and 2021 for unspecified work. Complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms were filed in 2020-2022, though access issues prevented verification in some cases. While rodent inspections showed compliance in 2019, the building's record suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems.
