In 2022, both a heat/hot water complaint and a Housing Maintenance Code emergency were filed and subsequently verified as corrected by HPD.

The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent rat sighting reported in June 2025, which resulted in an inspection that found violations requiring follow-up inspections.
