The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints in December 2024 involving significant concerns including a heavy water leak, unsanitary mold conditions, multiple heat and hot water failures, a power outage, and smoke detector safety concerns. During this period, HPD was unable to complete inspections for several of these complaints, indicating potential access issues.

The property has persistent heat and hot water problems - multiple complaints in January 2024 and December 2024 suggest this is an ongoing issue. Maintenance violations include an open Class A violation from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file required bedbug reports. A comprehensive inspection from June 2022 revealed several issues in the basement apartment, including water leaks, mold, defective plaster surfaces, and plumbing problems, with these violations remaining open as of the most recent data. The building also has some historical issues, including a boiler-related complaint from January 2021, though this was ultimately closed due to lack of access.

The property has multiple open violations that suggest chronic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water-related issues and building systems. The inspection history shows a pattern of water-related problems, including leaks, mold, and plumbing issues, particularly concentrated in the basement apartment. The recent cluster of service complaints in December 2024 indicates current residents are facing multiple simultaneous maintenance challenges, though the building's Class A designation indicates it has been converted to permanent residential use. The building's age and persistent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
