However, there have been recurring rodent activity issues, with multiple inspections in 2024 and early 2025 confirming rat activity and the application of bait. Previous violations from 2021 and 2022 indicated problems with building walls, exterior facade maintenance, and the need for various safety inspections and repairs.
