The property has experienced multiple recurring issues over the past two years, with particular concerns regarding plumbing and pest control. In December 2024, there were three water supply complaints that HPD was unable to inspect, and the building has faced ongoing pest problems, with multiple reports of rodent sightings between 2023-2024.

While most recent inspections have demonstrated improved compliance with rodent control measures, with a passing result in March 2025, the building still has several open violations from 2024 requiring attention. The building's maintenance record reveals significant historical maintenance challenges, including multiple past violations related to external low pressure inspections, with active violations dating from 2018-2023. In 2024, several important safety and maintenance issues were documented, particularly affecting Apartment 1L, including concerns about illegal alterations (suspended ceilings) and deficiencies in safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The property has also experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in late 2023 and early 2024. While there have been some resolved complaints, the building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that may impact resident quality of life and safety. The building has maintained a consistent focus on addressing rodent control, though past violations and failed inspections in this area indicate historical challenges that required continued attention and oversight.
