This 16-story residential building in Corona, built in 1965, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heating and hot water problems during the winter months of 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and February 2025, though many were closed after HPD inspections confirmed restoration of services. The building has also faced pest challenges, with recent unsanitary conditions related to pests reported in February 2025 leading to violations.

The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with reports showing multiple affected units between 2018 and 2024, though most reported units were successfully eradicated. A substantial number of Housing Maintenance Code violations were identified in 2024, including issues with mold in Apartment 12K, roach infestations in Apartments 2D and 3D, and defective self-closing doors in various public areas throughout the building. In terms of infrastructure and systems, there are ongoing concerns with elevator service, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2019 and 2024, including a 2023 complaint that noted multiple devices on the property.

The building's owners have faced several challenges with timely compliance to building safety regulations, including a 2023 violation for failing to file the FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report. Notably, while the building passed a rodent inspection in 2024, its history shows numerous failed inspections prior to 2020, indicating past difficulties with pest control beyond just bedbugs. The property has also faced challenges related to building envelope maintenance, with recorded violations regarding balcony conditions in 2021, and there are current active complaints regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections as of 2024.
