There were also violations regarding self-closing doors in the vestibule and window guards in common areas, though these were subsequently addressed. Compliance history shows attention to maintenance issues, with most recent violations being closed or dismissed, including a 2023 violation related to external low-pressure inspection filing and a 2019 violation for energy use benchmarking.
