There were presently 652 HPD violations on the building, 115 of which were hazardous violations. Eighteen of the hazardous violations involved the heating system and were reported after the new boiler/burner was installed.

That violation was for nuisance because the hot water was over 157 degrees. This was too hot and could cause scalding burns.
