While the building has generally maintained good pest control standards, with no recorded bedbug infestations in recent years and passing rodent inspections in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023, there was one rodent-related complaint in 2021. The property has undergone various safety and compliance inspections, with several violations recorded and subsequently addressed. In 2022, a violation was issued regarding self-closing doors for the compactor closet on the 6th floor.

The building's management has generally responded to violations and inspections, with numerous cases being resolved or dismissed based on subsequent corrections. Recent inspections have shown the building meeting basic health and safety standards, though the recurring nature of heating system complaints and ongoing elevator safety concerns remain significant points of attention. The building's maintenance history shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units across multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2025.
