Between January 2024 and May 2024 alone, there were multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations related to unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, as well as plumbing problems involving radiators. The building has experienced water-related issues, with violations documented in 2023 specifically regarding a bathroom ceiling leak in Apartment 1A, along with multiple water leak complaints (both slow and heavy flow) during that same period.
Notable deficiencies were also reported in 2022 in Apartment 3B, including mold and pest problems, and in 2020 in Apartment 4C, where there were issues with hot water temperature and roach infestation. The building's maintenance history reveals some concerning patterns, particularly regarding water-related problems, with violations spanning multiple years and various apartments.

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent filings for 2023-2024 indicating zero confirmed cases. The building's age (built in 1917) and history of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges in building upkeep, though many recent complaints have been closed without violations being issued.
