This 65-unit, 6-story building in Hollis, owned by Jeovany Raposo, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2020 that impact tenant comfort and safety. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages (2024, 2022, and 2020), with some inspections unable to gain access for verification. The building has also faced plumbing issues, including a recent toilet complaint in July 2024 that was closed due to lack of access for inspection.

A significant pattern of pest-related issues has emerged, particularly in Apartment 5D, including multiple violations for roach and mouse infestations in 2022 and 2021, alongside several other pest-related complaints throughout 2022. Safety concerns have been documented through various violations and complaints, including an open violation from 2022 regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues in Apartment 5D, as well as a 2023 violation for defective elevator door zone restrictors. The building experienced significant issues with fire escape access in 2024, when flower pots obstructing egress were documented.

There were also multiple instances of elevator service complaints between 2020-2023, though most inspections found no violations at the time. The building's management has faced penalties for various violations, including a 2024 violation for failure to submit a required exterior wall inspection report, with a penalty of $1,250. Environmental controls suggest active management of bedbug issues, with eradication efforts documented in 2023-2024, though no current infestations have been reported. While there have been numerous violations and complaints over the years, many have been resolved through inspection or correction, though some, particularly those affecting Apartment 5D, appear to remain open or recurring.
