The building had a series of violations in late 2005 that were resolved by May 2006, including security, fire safety, and lead paint concerns, as well as a complaint about egress obstruction. More recently, there have been maintenance issues requiring attention, such as missing side sewer vent covers in 2023 and sewer-related concerns. There were also two noise complaints about construction work in 2017 and 2021, and some cleaning issues recorded near the property.

A significant renovation history is documented for Apartment 3, which experienced multiple permit-related complaints between 2013-2017, suggesting some construction management challenges. The property underwent substantial electrical system upgrades in 2006, with multiple panels and circuit installations documented. The building's front yard area saw improvements in 2019 with the addition of a gate, and there were earlier renovation works in 2013-2014 involving kitchen and bathroom remodeling.
