The building experienced notable security-related violations in 2011, including issues with deadlatch locks, glazing reinforcement, and fire safety concerns, though these were all abated by July 2012. The property has a history of various improvements and maintenance work, including window replacements (2018), vehicle impact damage repairs (2011), and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades. Recent plumbing work in 2023 included the installation of ADA-compliant restrooms and various sinks, while electrical improvements have included the installation of new service panels and kitchen rewiring. A significant portion of the recent activity has centered around the retail space, including the addition of specialized equipment like wine shelving, coffee bars, and sandwich shops.

The building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, with the most recent 311 calls in 2024 primarily relating to street cleaning and debris removal.

The retail portion of the building has seen various tenant improvements over the years, including the recent establishment of a cannabis retail use (though not including onsite consumption) and multiple grocery/store-related upgrades. Fire safety systems have required some attention, with periodic alarm system activations and an initial complaint in 2007 that was resolved in 2008.
