A cluster of related complaints in September 2022 involved water leaks (heavy flow), plumbing issues (basin/sink), and flooring problems, with violations issued in at least one case.

The building has faced various safety and habitability challenges, including multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2022-2023, such as defective self-closing doors, fire egress issues, and concerns about vinyl floor tiles in the public hall. Apartment 2R in particular has documented violations regarding window security, pest infestations, and various safety equipment deficiencies, including smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues. The property's maintenance history shows periods of rodent activity, with inspections in 2018 and 2020 noting rat presence, though subsequent inspections have passed.

Bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 indicate no infestations during those periods, with all units showing as eradicated when applicable. The building's systems have experienced various issues requiring attention, including door and window problems, appliance concerns, and pest control measures. While some violations have been addressed and closed, as evidenced by various certified dates in 2022-2023, there are still open violations related to lead-based paint hazards and fire safety concerns as of the most recent data. The building's inspection history also shows a significant number of complaints where inspectors were unable to gain access, which may indicate challenges in coordinating building inspections.
