HPD also cited severe conditions on lower floors, including an open June 2025 class C violation for defective self-closing doors.

    Recent sewage odor complaints logged across multiple days. Five indoor air quality complaints were logged in August 2026 specifically citing sewage odors in the building. During the same week, complaints were filed for missing superintendent and housing guide signage in the entrance story.

    Fourteen short-term rental enforcement calls on file. 14 complaints have been directed to the city's short-term rental enforcement team (SPIT) regarding illegal hotel rooms operating in the building.
