Notable incidents include a slow water leak reported in March 2024, and several inspections in 2024 revealed various maintenance issues, including mold in a bathroom (Apartment 2B), defects in doors and windows, and self-closing door problems.
The building received both Class A and B violations for various maintenance issues, all of which were certified as corrected by mid-2024. The property has a history of rodent inspection challenges, with failed inspections recorded in 2011, 2014, and 2017, though it passed its most recent inspection in November 2019. A structural vibration complaint was filed in September 2018 but was determined to have no warrant for violation upon inspection.
The building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past eight reporting periods from 2018 to 2024, with no reported infestations. Recent complaints in 2024 included issues with missing signage and door problems, while earlier complaints in 2023-2024 involved plumbing and heating concerns, though most were quickly resolved.
