The property has faced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints filed in 2024 and 2025, indicating ongoing thermal infrastructure problems.

While there have been several sanitary complaints, including a mold-related issue in October 2024 which was inspected but not found to violate HPD housing laws, all recent bedbug filings from 2021-2025 indicate zero infested units. The building's maintenance history shows both emergency and non-emergency repairs being addressed, including issues with windows, plumbing, electrical systems, and appliances, with varying levels of promptness in resolution. The property's recent history (April 2024 - June 2025) reveals multiple heat/hot water complaints, with some cases unable to be properly inspected due to access issues.

The occurrence of recurring rat activity, as documented through multiple rodent inspections, suggests an ongoing pest management challenge. Recent maintenance records show the property has been responsive to various emergency and non-emergency complaints, though some issues remain unresolved, such as the April 2024 water leakage violation affecting unit 3L.
