While there were four Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded from 2021 to 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, these violations have been addressed, and the most recent reports for 2023-2024 show zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no re-infestation.

A construction-related complaint was filed in October 2018 but was resolved by December of the same year with no violations warranted.
