The property has been experiencing recurring heating issues throughout early 2025, with multiple documented complaints regarding heat and hot water problems between January and February 2025, resulting in several HPD inspections and violations.

Notably, there are ongoing violations in apartment 3L documented from September 2024, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, various floor and ceiling repairs, and evidence of pest infestations. The building currently has active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2021, with the most recent related violation issued in June 2023. The building's maintenance history shows consistent challenges with pest control, particularly noted during inspections in August 2024, and historical rodent activity documented through multiple inspections between 2014 and 2023.

An inspection in March 2023 confirmed rat activity, while earlier inspections had mixed results regarding compliance. The property has also experienced water-related issues, with violations related to water leaks and various repair needs identified in inspection reports. Though there were no bedbug infestations reported in the 2021-2022 cycle, the overall pattern of violations and complaints suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges within the building.
