The building has undergone significant modernization and safety improvements in recent years, including comprehensive fire safety upgrades with a new fire alarm system installation in 2020 ($30,000) and associated improvements in 2021, along with the installation of a fire sprinkler system in pathways and exits. Major renovation work occurred between late 2019 and 2020 across all six units, involving kitchen relocations, bathroom additions, and utility upgrades in Units 1 through 6, with costs ranging from $48,000 to $90,000 per unit for the comprehensive remodels.

The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, having resolved multiple building violations from 2011 related to fire safety and lead paint hazards, which were abated by 2016.
