Building safety features have been a focus, with violations recorded in late 2023 related to security locks and a plate that had to be installed at the front entrance door. In early 2023, multiple violations were recorded including issues with paint/plaster, water leaks, electrical lighting, and a sprinkler system that required immediate emergency attention. The property has maintained an active schedule of inspections and compliance checks, though some violations remain open including a 2024 citation for failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspection reports.

In terms of pest control, recent bedbug reports from 2025 and previous years show no current infestations, though there was one reported case in 2019. Rodent inspections conducted in 2023 and 2024 passed, indicating active management of pest control measures. The building has a history of work without permits complaints between late 2021 and early 2022, though inspections found no violations at that time. Additionally, several violations including elevator maintenance issues and fire safety concerns have been documented in recent years, though many have been resolved through subsequent corrections and inspections.
