The Royal Plaza, a 14-story condominium building constructed in 2008 and containing 52 units, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are persistent violations related to energy efficiency reporting requirements, including failures to submit annual energy efficiency reports and benchmarking data between 2021 and 2024, with multiple active violations still on record.

The building has also faced various water-related issues, including a heavy flow water leak reported in early 2022, recurring water supply complaints, and multiple instances of water damage affecting units 12B and 14B, particularly concerning the hot water heater room on the 15th floor. Safety concerns have been documented, including multiple violations regarding window guard maintenance and a fire escape inspection in 2022, though most safety-related complaints were investigated without resulting violations. The property has experienced structural and maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, when there were reports of building shaking, problems with balcony drainage, and concerns about facade stability that resulted in a partial vacate order.

Several environmental control board violations indicate issues with building maintenance, including problems with the balcony structure and unsafe facade conditions. More recently, the building received multiple citations for failing to maintain proper facade inspection and energy efficiency documentation requirements through 2024. While the building's management company, Royal Plaza LLC, has addressed many historical issues, as evidenced by closed violations and resolved complaints, there remains an active pattern of reporting and compliance challenges, particularly regarding energy efficiency and maintenance documentation, with the most recent violations issued in late 2024.
