This building’s record with the City
Complaints tenants filed with 311, and repairs a City inspector has asked for. Most repairs are routine maintenance. Both describe the building rather than the people in it, and often predate the current management.
Problems here get fixed quickly, a median of 4 days from complaint to close, faster than the 8-day neighborhood median.
