The property at 1856-1858 Union Street is a two-unit, two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, comprising residential space above ground-floor retail space. Recent significant events include multiple complaints and violations in 2024 related to fire safety, including operating without a permit and general unsafe building conditions with LP gas, though these were subsequently abated. The building experienced notable maintenance work in 2011 with a $10,900 reroofing project, and earlier improvements in 2005 included a substantial electrical upgrade to the main store with the installation of 40 lights, six switches, and six circuits.

A significant code violation occurred in 2003 regarding unauthorized use of a rear cottage as office space, which was abated by July 2003 and involved multiple notices of violation and a director hearing. Historical improvements include a dome awning installation (2004) and various signage-related permits dating back to the 1980s. The property management has recently faced several challenges in 2024, including multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk defects due to tree roots (September 2024) and various street cleaning issues.

Notably, there was a noise citation issued in August 2024 for violating entertainment permit conditions. Historical records show periodic maintenance and improvement work, such as a street space permit in 2017 and the 2011 reroofing project. The property's mixed-use nature has resulted in various inspections and permits over the years, with the most recent activity suggesting ongoing management of infrastructure and compliance requirements.
