When Danny plays the first vinyl record reciting lines from the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, the label shows that it is dated November 13th, 1923. When he plays the second record, which was recorded in the following January, the recording says the same year; 1923. Chronologically speaking, this should be 1924.
The Auntie puts parcel tape on her hand when injured, in the following scenes there is a bandage instead.
According to the elevator, they live on the 14th floor, but when the Auntie tries to shout out of the window, they are only a few stories up.
The power is out but the characters light the stove with the igniter.
The record found in the vault with the Necronomicon was recorded in 1923. Disc style records weren't invented until 1930.
Commercially available discs were on sale in the 1880's, and by the early 1920's were available in a number of sizes and speeds.

The first time the records are played it's revealed that it's 1923. The records they have are twelve inch style, likely 33rpm. This type of record wasn't available until 1948, and is very similar to modern day records. A record from 1923 would likely have been ten inches and played at the much faster speed of 78rpm. The 1923 records would also be noticeably thicker and heavier.
In the early 20's disc standardisation was coming in, but it was not until after 1925 that 10 inch 78rpm discs became the norm. Before this discs could be 7, 10, 11 or 12 inches and speeds varied from 60 to 130rpm.
It is true though that the movie prop disc looks thinner that a 1923 disc would have, especially one that would have been recorded acoustically as discs were in 1923, as recording with a microphone only started in 1925.

The building has no power, so in order to use the record player, Beth uses a soldering gun to connect it to some batteries. But the soldering gun would have had to have been plugged in to use.
Power is out, but lights are on.
When Danny first plays the record, the turntable starts and plays at 33 1/3 RPM, but the audio was very slow, so Danny uses his fingers to spin the album, but he never really spins it much more than standard play.
When Beth is facing off against the amalgam with the chainsaw at 1h24m57s, the chainsaw blade is not moving despite the sound of the motor being audible.
According to events in the film, some form of bodily fluid from a deadite must come in contact with the victim to turn them into a deadite, yet the little girl and the aunt are constantly splashed with fluids and an elevator full of deadite blood in the last 10 minutes of the movie.
It is not possible for the ground/foundation of the building to have moved and broken so much without the whole building collapsing.
In at least two lines of dialogue, Nell Fisher speaks with her British accent, even though her character is American.
The front door of apartment 85 has two 8-inch glass panels on either side of the door that presumably could have been broken by the Ellie Deadite to allow access to the door lock or even allow her to contort her body back into the apartment in a gruesome fashion.
