Other notable issues include heat and hot water problems in November 2018, various building code violations identified in August 2020 regarding public hall maintenance, and multiple complaints about air quality, dust from construction, and ventilation issues in January 2021.
The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with mixed results, including recent rat activity noted in June 2025 and a failed inspection in May 2025, though previous inspections had passed.
