Historical violations in 2002 related to heating system requirements were resolved, and there have been no major safety incidents recorded, with only three false smoke detector activations noted by fire services. The building's maintenance record suggests active management, with multiple routine inspections showing systematic upkeep of building systems and infrastructure, though there have been periodic issues with boiler permit renewals that were subsequently resolved.
