Notably, inspection findings from September 2024 revealed multiple open violations in Apartment 2A regarding safety features, including missing window guards, defective self-closing doors, and absent smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though some violations were subsequently marked as closed. The building's recent history has also been marked by facade safety concerns, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 related to unsafe facade conditions and improper removal of public protection, resulting in penalties totaling $12,500. Previous inspections and complaints have highlighted various maintenance and safety issues, including a 2023 unsanitary condition involving garbage/recycling storage, historical problems with self-closing doors, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring attention to fire safety systems.
The building appears to have maintained a stable pest control record over recent years, with no reported incidents of bedbugs between 2019 and 2025. The property has undergone regular permit issuance for maintenance work, with permits issued for plumbing and electrical work between 2019-2020, though records indicate some violations related to hazardous conditions and egress issues that were ultimately dismissed. The building's history shows ongoing attention to facade safety requirements, with at least one active case of non-compliance with Local Law 11 requirements regarding facade inspection and safety measures.
