The building has also faced serious concerns in apartment 5B, including multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2024 for water leaks, mold, kitchen cabinet issues, and general maintenance problems.
The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2022-2025 regarding service interruptions and maintenance issues, though inspections typically found no violations. Building-wide issues include emergency violations regarding a potentially hazardous retaining wall/chain link fence in the rear yard (2022) and an active violation from 2023 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with three affected units reported in 2023-2024, though the most recent filing shows zero infested units.
Rodent inspections have generally passed since 2013, except for a failed inspection in 2021. Additionally, there are environmental violations related to unauthorized construction of a metal structure/carport in the rear yard, with active penalties. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with several violations remaining open as of the latest data, suggesting challenges in timely maintenance and response to resident complaints.
