The property has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations between 2024 and 2021, including two heat-related complaints in April 2024 and a 2020 complaint about worsening mold issues. The building's infrastructure maintenance has been a significant focus, with several boiler replacements carried out between 2012 and 2021, including the most recent domestic boiler replacement in 2021.

A comprehensive set of fire safety violations was recorded in 2023-2024, including issues with the alarm system, extinguishers, and sleeping area requirements, with one open violation related to sleeping area requirements as of December 2023. The property has a history of various maintenance and safety concerns, including interior surface violations in 2005, multiple fire safety violations throughout the years, and more recent complaints about building systems.

Historical permits indicate earlier infrastructure work, such as re-roofing in 1989 and sidewalk repairs in 2000. The building's location in the Tenderloin neighborhood has been associated with various external challenges, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls regarding street cleaning and graffiti issues in 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Recent routine fire safety inspections have revealed ongoing concerns, with violations related to sprinklers, fire alarms, and extinguishers, though many of these have been abated following correction notice.
