The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in late 2023 involving water leaks, door problems, and flooring concerns, all of which were not able to be inspected by HPD. The building has a history of water-related problems, with multiple slow leak complaints documented in 2022 and 2023.

The first-floor basement apartment (1R) has been particularly impacted by various maintenance issues, including open violations as of December 2022 related to mold, water leaks, and pest infestation, along with deficiencies in carbon monoxide detection equipment. The building experienced heat and hot water issues in April 2022, though these were reported as resolved by tenants at the time of inspection. A series of complaints regarding sanitary conditions, including mold and plumbing issues, were documented in 2022, with some resulting in violations.

While rodent inspections between 2010 and 2022 generally passed, a significant violation was noted in 2022 for a roach infestation in the 1R apartment. The property also experienced electrical issues in 2022, though these were inspected and no violations were found. Several emergency complaints were filed in 2022 for various maintenance issues, indicating ongoing building maintenance challenges, though some of these complaints were ultimately not able to be verified due to inspection access issues.
