The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints between January and June 2025, including three emergency complaints in February 2025 alone. Additionally, there have been several plumbing-related problems reported this year, particularly regarding basins and sinks, as well as water leaks. A rodent sighting was reported in June 2025, marking the first rodent-related complaint since January 2020.
The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from November 2024 showing three infested units, though all were reportedly eradicated. Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple environmental control board (ECB) violations related to safety concerns, including obstructed exit passageways and issues with the sidewalk shed. The property experienced facade work in 2023-2024, during which multiple safety violations were issued regarding scaffolding and equipment. Building maintenance violations from 2022-2024 included problems with self-closing doors, electrical wiring, and compactor maintenance.
The Department of Buildings has noted an active violation as of April 2025 regarding cracked window panes and inadequate AC support. Recent inspection records from 2023-2025 show fluctuating conditions, with some passing rodent inspections (April 2023 and April 2024) but more recent issues suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's permits from 2019 to 2024 indicate regular maintenance and emergency work being performed, with several permits issued for equipment and elevator-related work. While some housing maintenance code violations have been resolved through certification, there are still notable open violations related to facade maintenance and building systems as of the current date. The property has demonstrated a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat and plumbing, though many complaints are ultimately resolved through intervention from city agencies.
