More recently, in 2025, there have been enforcement actions taken regarding fence condition and permit compliance, with a Full Stop Work Order issued in April 2025, though the specific nature of this violation is not detailed in the records. The building has also experienced access-related issues with inspection attempts in 2022, specifically regarding complaints about excessive debris and protection of adjacent buildings, though in both cases inspectors were unable to gain access. While the most recent inspections and complaint resolutions suggest some improvements in building management, the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the years, particularly affecting Apartment 2, with both structural and systems-related problems being documented through various violation notices.
