The building has experienced several significant safety-related issues in recent years, most notably with its fire escape systems, as evidenced by two safety complaints and housing maintenance violations in April 2025.

The property has undergone multiple repairs and improvements as indicated by various permits issued between 2018-2019, though specific details about the nature of these works are not provided in the data. Additionally, there were several closed complaints related to potential illegal hotel room operations in 2019 and accessibility issues, though investigations generally found no violations warranting further action.
