The building has also faced several infrastructure challenges, including electricity outages in March 2021, heating issues in July 2021, and cooking gas concerns in August 2019, with the latter three events classified as emergencies.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in March 2025 resulting in a passed inspection, and bedbug reporting shows no infestation cases from 2019 through 2025, with all annual filings indicating zero infested or eradicated units. The building has had some structural maintenance issues addressed, including violations related to a broken wood baluster and unsecured window air conditioner units in 2019 and 2021, which were subsequently corrected.
