The 42-unit, 6-story apartment building at 1080 Eddy Street, built in 1929 and currently owned by the Gaehwiler 2000 Trust, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, the building has seen substantial fire safety upgrades, with the installation of a new fire alarm system and low-frequency sounders in 2023 costing $122,550 to meet current code requirements. The building underwent a comprehensive window replacement project in 2018, installing 300 new Marvin clad windows valued at $500,000.

Between 2019 and 2022, multiple units received kitchen and bathroom upgrades, with work performed in units 102, 103, 106, 107, 204, 207, 405, 602, and 605, including new cabinets, countertops, and electrical systems. Recent support and maintenance issues have raised concerns, including a notable heating system failure affecting the entire building in July 2023, followed by boiler replacement work in August 2023. The building has experienced recurring elevator issues, with complaints in 2021 and most recently in March 2024. A current violation regarding sleeping area requirements was issued in December 2023, and the building's fire safety history includes multiple alarm system activations and system malfunctions over the years.

The property has a history of various maintenance complaints dating back to 2015, including concerns about fire safety, interior surfaces, and sanitation, though most of these issues appear to have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular improvements and upgrades to units, particularly focusing on modernizing kitchens and bathrooms. However, there have been several instances of unpermitted work, including dryer relocation and boiler replacement in 2019, along with some tenant-reported maintenance issues like plumbing problems and construction noise. The property has undergone significant infrastructure improvements, including electrical upgrades with new panels and safety systems, though recent tenant complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems such as heating and elevators.
