In terms of maintenance and improvements, the property has seen various residential upgrades, including a kitchen remodel in 2008 (counter and flooring replacement), bathroom renovations in 2007, and multiple plumbing and electrical updates during these periods. The most recent building permit activity has focused on structural improvements, indicating ongoing attention to building safety and stability. The property has also experienced recurring issues with driveway access, with multiple parking enforcement calls between 2018 and 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions.
