The property's numerous building permits and consistent renovations suggest active management and maintenance, with particular attention paid to modernizing apartments and maintaining safety systems. Recent inspections and repairs indicate ongoing commitment to building safety and resident comfort, though there was one building complaint in March 2023 regarding excavation work that prompted inspections by both building and plumbing authorities.
