The building has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past five years, with multiple rat sightings reported through 311 service requests in 2022 and 2023, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for these complaints found either no violations or only minor issues. The property has maintained consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, passing eight consecutive rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025. The building has faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, receiving multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports.
However, recent filings (most recently in May 2025) indicate a clean record, showing 0 units infested, eradicated, or re-infested during the reporting periods of 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. An isolated safety issue was documented in 2019 regarding a fire escape, but this was promptly addressed and closed within one day. A permit was also issued in September 2020 for work classified under "EW" with job number 340758745, though specific details of the work were not provided in the data.
