Housing-code violations remain open, concentrating heavily on the top floor and bulkhead. The building carries 23 open violations, with four class C immediately hazardous citations. Issues concentrate on the 5th floor, including active water leaks at the bulkhead ceiling, missing fire-retardant plaster, defective self-closing entrance doors in 4D and 5C, and a rodent infestation in 5B.
