Whitestone Tower Condominium, a 7-story building completed in 2007 with 34 units, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. The most pressing current concerns include two active violations related to facade safety reports from 2023-2024 regarding the parking structure and exterior walls, with penalties totaling $12,500. There are also multiple active violations from 2023-2024 regarding apartment 4F, including reports of pest infestations (roaches and mice), electrical outlet issues, and door problems that were identified during a May 2023 inspection.

The building has had recurrent heat and electric issues, with emergency heat/hot water complaints recorded in December 2024 and May 2023, as well as multiple electrical problems affecting outlets and switches. The property has also faced several health and safety challenges, including multiple unsanitary condition complaints in 2023 regarding pests, mold, and window guard safety. Recent inspections in December 2024 identified problems with self-closing doors in public areas, though these violations were subsequently closed. While the building's bedbug reports from 2019-2023 show no infestations, the property has ongoing obligations to maintain safety features and address various maintenance issues.

The building's violation history shows some patterns of delayed compliance, with several violations remaining active as of early 2025, including issues related to facade inspection reports required under NYC Building Code. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most concerning pattern being repeated complaints about basic building systems like heat and electricity, as well as persistent issues with pests and safety compliance. While some violations have been closed through inspections and repairs, the presence of multiple active violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's property management has demonstrated responsiveness to many complaints, as evidenced by closed violation notices and service requests, though access issues during inspections have occasionally resulted in complaints being marked as closed without resolution verification.
