The property has faced multiple complaints and violations related to unauthorized occupancy, with Environmental Control Board violations in December 2024 citing illegal occupancy with 3 or more additional dwelling units and offering/using/ converting the premises for non-permanent residential purposes, resulting in substantial penalties totaling $245,000.
