Between 2022 and 2025, there have been recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, including multiple emergency complaints in 2024-2025, and plumbing problems involving toilets and water supply. The building has faced consistent water-related issues, with multiple reports of heavy flow water leaks in July 2023, and several plumbing complaints.

The property has undergone various inspection and violation processes, including tenable bedbug management with no reported infestations since 2020 and rodent inspections showing rat activity in 2025, though earlier inspections passed.
