The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2017 when both units received comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels including new fixtures, cabinets, and electrical work, costing approximately $35,000. More recent improvements include the installation of gas fireplaces in 2017 and 2020, and various plumbing updates including water heater and heater replacements between 2016-2017.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, with dry rot repairs completed in 2010, and earlier improvements including kitchen renovations in 2004 and electrical system upgrades.

There have been two instances of graffiti on or near the property in 2024, including on a bike rack and sidewalk, both of which were addressed by city services.

A tree root issue affecting the sidewalk is currently an open case as of March 2024.
