The building's maintenance record shows persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly related to heating systems, with HPD responding to emergency complaints about heat and hot water in 2021, 2023, and 2025. Various inspections have noted issues requiring attention, including a 2018 water leak problem in apartment 1B, and multiple instances of failed inspection access preventing proper evaluation of reported issues. The property has documented regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no confirmed infestations during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 reporting periods.
