The building has undergone significant renovations and updates over the past few years, including the completed installation of a fire sprinkler bell in 2021, comprehensive fire alarm system upgrades in 2020 to meet 2021 mandates, and a major unit renovation project in 2019 that included updates to multiple apartments with new kitchens, bathrooms, and in-unit laundry facilities. Notable recent concerns include recurring fire safety violations, with the most recent in July 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements and standpipe system issues, as well as a November 2023 violation regarding alarm systems and sprinkler maintenance.
