312 open violations in a subsidized building where maintenance is falling behind.
Completed in 2005, this 167-unit complex operates entirely under affordable housing tax credit and regulatory programs. While government oversight stabilizes the building's cost profile, everyday maintenance is struggling to keep pace with tenant needs. Four things to know:
The building carries 312 open violations, signaling deferred maintenance. With 312 open violations on the ledger, the standard of day-to-day upkeep is lagging. The backlogged items span basic infrastructure, with recurring tenant calls highlighting unresolved water leaks, wall plaster damage, and peeling paint across several lines.
Air quality complaints suggest internal riser or venting issues. Tenants have registered two air quality complaints from this building, alongside eight similar complaints on the surrounding blocks. This usually indicates underlying operational snags, like stagnant exhaust ducts or plumbing drains venting odors directly back into the residential columns rather than out the roof.
Elevators take a beating here, logging 36 complaints. A 167-unit mid-rise relies heavily on smooth vertical transit, making elevator downtime highly disruptive. The building's own ledger shows 36 elevator complaints, and the surrounding blocks generated 117 complaints last year—a strong sign that mechanical service crews are stretched thin.
A fully subsidized property bound by strict regulatory agreements. All 167 residential units are bound by long-term affordable covenants. A milestone restructured agreement in November 2020 established a $19.6 million housing partnership involving city development agencies and institutional lenders, locking in stable rent structures that travel with the property.
