Dayton Towers, a 12-story residential building constructed in 1968 and containing 554 units, has experienced various maintenance and safety issues throughout recent years. The property currently has four active violations from October 2024 related to apartment 2O, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water leak issues, and problems with self-closing doors. There are also multiple concerning elevator safety violations from 2023-2024, including issues with door restrictors, machine room stairs, and various inspection complaints about multiple devices.

Recent building inspections have documented a pattern of vermin-related issues, with multiple complaints about pests recorded between 2024-2025, despite HPD inspections finding no violations. The building has faced several significant infrastructure challenges, including elevator problems with multiple complaints about devices between 2022-2025, some resulting in Oath Violations being served. There have been multiple reports of water-related issues, with complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold and sewage odor in 2024-2025.

The property also faces structural concerns, including current Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 regarding an excavated area with exposed foundation, corroded steam pipe, and cracked concrete piers. While the building has periodically experienced heat and hot water issues (most recently reported in 2025), these were generally resolved promptly. It's worth noting that the building has demonstrated an ability to address bedbug infestations, with reports showing eradication in 2022-2023, though there was one instance of infestation in early 2023.
