This 8-story, 7-unit residential building in Chelsea, constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Edward Nahon, has experienced several notable events in recent years that merit attention. Most concerning is an active violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure system inspection, which remains unresolved as of the current date.

In 2022, the building faced issues with its sprinkler system, resulting in a missed inspection (though one was attempted on May 18, 2022), and an Environmental Control Board violation was issued for failure to maintain building exterior walls, specifically noting problems with a cracked and spalled stone unit on the east elevation parapet wall, though this violation was later resolved. The building's safety record shows no bedbug infestations reported in the past six filing periods from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest control measures.

Additionally, historical rodent inspections from 2010, 2011, and 2012 all resulted in passing grades. Various permits have been issued for work on the building between 2019 and 2022, primarily related to plumbing and electrical systems, with the most recent permit being issued in February 2022. A compliance tracking inspection conducted in July 2024 found no violations at the time of inspection, suggesting recent improvements in building maintenance and compliance, though the earlier violation regarding the low-pressure system inspection remains outstanding.
