In terms of structural and safety concerns, there were reports of building shaking/vibration in December 2023 and drainage issues in early 2024, though these were ultimately not confirmed during inspections.

Overall, the building has faced recurring maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints that HPD has been unable to inspect fully. While some violations from previous years have been resolved, including repairs to ceiling issues and various maintenance problems, the pattern of maintenance complaints suggests ongoing building upkeep challenges.
