Multiple violations of the vacant storefront ordinance have been recorded between 2021 and 2023, with the most recent violations in 2023 resulting in monthly monitoring fees. Recent maintenance issues include reports of graffiti, garbage, and debris on the property (notably in early 2025), and concerns about potential rodent infestation. A fire inspection in September 2023 identified the building as open and vacant, though this condition was corrected by October 2023.

The property has also experienced various utility and environmental issues, as evidenced by 311 calls for sidewalk defects, tree maintenance, and public health concerns in recent months, with some cases still pending resolution. The building's historical data shows a pattern of commercial vacancy and compliance issues, particularly regarding storefront maintenance and security. While some improvements have been made over the years, including accessibility upgrades and cannabis-related modifications, the property has consistently faced challenges related to maintaining occupancy in its commercial space. Recent inspections and 311 calls suggest ongoing maintenance and environmental challenges, with various agencies involved in addressing these issues.
