Safety concerns have been documented, including violations related to the fire escape system and water leakage problems, particularly affecting apartment 6A, which has multiple open violations including mold, water leak issues, and various repair needs identified in a September 2024 inspection. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with various building systems and infrastructure, including recurring boiler issues, documentation of rat activity in 2025 (with compliance inspections showing persistent rodent problems), and several environmental control board violations related to elevator safety and boiler operations between 2019-2020.
