72 open violations, a daily pattern of elevator outages, and strong ties to state housing programs.
This building has 54 subsidized units operating under state housing programs dating back to a $6.01M mortgage recorded in 1999. While rent remains stabilized under these programs, daily operations show significant friction—most notably with the building's only elevator. Three things to know:
The building's sole elevator fails repeatedly, leaving residents stranded. The building has logged 86 elevator complaints, and the issue has spiked as an active crisis with daily failure complaints from July 10 through July 16, 2026. Living on higher floors means relying on a single piece of machinery that is currently failing on a daily basis.
Multiple apartments have reported poor indoor air quality and ventilation. With 24 indoor air quality complaints on file—including a pair of open ventilation calls logged on July 13, 2026—air circulation is a persistent issue. When central ventilation shafts underperform, odors and humidity linger inside the apartments instead of venting out.
A backlog of 72 open violations points to slow maintenance response. Rather than a single major construction failure, the record has accumulated issues across plumbing, flooring, and paint. Unresolved violations mean routine tenant complaints are frequently left open without prompt physical fixes.
