The property has experienced persistent fire safety concerns in recent years, with multiple fire code violations recorded between 2021-2024, including issues with sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and various maintenance requirements. There have been at least 10 documented fire code violations, with the most recent occurring in November 2024.

The building has also experienced some serious safety incidents, including a carbon monoxide incident and a fire, though fortunately, no civilian injuries were reported in these events. The most recent significant building maintenance work includes framing repairs to the lightwell stairs completed in 2013 and reroofing projects undertaken in 2009. A notable routine inspection in 2002 resulted in multiple fire safety citations, including problems with egress obstruction, fire extinguishers, smoke detection, and self-closing doors, though these violations were abated by August 2002. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 primarily relate to street maintenance issues such as garbage cleanup and debris removal, rather than internal building problems.

The building's historical records show various maintenance work over the years, including bathroom renovations in 1992 and door replacements for five units in 1986. The property has experienced multiple fire-related incidents and false alarms, with the most recent fire violations recorded in November 2024 related to alarm system maintenance, sprinkler system service, and documentation issues. While these violations have often been abated or referred to hearings, their recurring nature suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance. The building has undergone several major maintenance projects over its history, including the replacement of lightwell stairs framing, reroofing, and various interior improvements, but the frequency of fire code violations in recent years is particularly notable.
