The property, owned by David Huh, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in July 2024, including multiple door issues, plumbing problems, and unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests - though inspections resulted in no violations.

A significant concentration of violations and maintenance issues has been documented in Apartment 3L, including unresolved problems with doors, mold, lead paint, and plumbing systems as of April 2024. These include open violations for self-closing door mechanisms, visible mold in the bathroom (8 sqft), lead paint hazards, and drainage issues. The building has also faced consistent issues with unsanitary conditions, as evidenced by multiple complaints about mold and pest problems between December 2023 and July 2024, with some violations being upgraded in severity.

Notably, there was a December 2023 violation related to the need for proper lead paint hazard controls, particularly concerning window and door friction surfaces. While recent rodent inspections from September 2024 passed, historical records show some earlier failures in 2012 and 2013, though subsequent inspections confirmed compliance. The property has a documented history of door/window, plumbing, and unsanitary condition complaints, with the majority of recent incidents occurring in the past 18 months.
