The property has documented bedbug infestations in 2024, with two units affected during the most recent reporting period.

While some violations have been addressed, including plumbing repairs and pest control measures, there remain active DOB violations from 2019-2021 related to Category 5 inspection failure and energy efficiency requirements. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of recurring issues, though recent rodent inspections have generally passed, with the exception of the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing rat activity. The building's documented history reveals a mix of resolved and ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to address recurring issues related to elevator safety, pest control, and building systems.
