There have been concerning patterns of inspection access being denied or inspectors unable to complete their evaluations in multiple instances during 2025, particularly regarding plumbing and window frame issues.
Earlier violations from 2024 indicate persistent problems, particularly in Apartment 1B, where there were citations for mold, intercom system defects, electrical issues, and water leak problems.
