The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues, with the most recent batch of complaints in June 2025 documenting unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, along with problems related to walls, paint, and water leaks. Notably, there are multiple ongoing violations from late 2024 concerning Apartment 3B, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks in the bathroom and foyer, damaged plaster surfaces, and failure to install required temperature reporting devices.
The building has also accumulated several active Department of Buildings violations, including failure to file mandatory boiler inspections for 2019-2021 and a current violation regarding access to the boiler room with an associated penalty of $6,250. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing persistent rat presence and regular bait application attempts. Previous maintenance concerns include plumbing issues, with multiple service requests in 2025 related to bathtubs/showers and sinks.
The building has faced significant violations in the past, including a 2023 finding of inoperable boiler conditions and flooding, though some related violations from 2018 regarding fire safety and building maintenance have been resolved. While there have been regular bedbug inspections, the most recent filings from 2022 and 2025 show no reported infestations. The building's history reveals ongoing challenges with basic maintenance and compliance with housing codes, particularly regarding plumbing, pest control, and record-keeping for inspections.
