The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests between 2022 and 2024, including violations issued in July and August 2024.

There are also ongoing water-related maintenance challenges, with two leak complaints in the past year (most recently in December 2024) and associated violations. In September 2024, several violations were documented related to Apartment F6, including issues with plaster surfaces, roof leaks, and self-closing doors, with another significant violation recorded in August 2024 concerning roach infestation in Apartment A4. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning safety issues, including a carbon monoxide detector problem reported in August 2023 (Apartment 4A) and an obstruction of fire escape egress recorded in 2023.

Recent inspections have revealed various maintenance needs, including damaged ceiling light fixtures in public areas and door-related problems in hallways. The property has undergone multiple Department of Buildings inspections, with some violations resulting in penalties, such as a $2,500 fine in 2023 for improper safety measures during construction work on the facade. However, the building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infested units in the past several reporting periods, and passed its rodent inspections in 2022, indicating some level of effective pest management in other areas.
