Between November and December 2024, multiple complaints were filed and violations issued for inadequate heat/hot water and recurring power outages, including an emergency power outage complaint in December 2024.
Recent inspections from December 2024 revealed several open violations in Apartment 1, including issues with electric service, toilet tank cover, hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees, heating system, and missing carbon monoxide detecting devices. The Department of Buildings has investigated potential illegal conversions in October 2024 and December 2024, with one partial vacate order served in April 2025.
