While there have been several complaints and violations over the years, the majority appear to have been addressed and resolved through proper channels. Recent 311 calls from 2020-2024 primarily relate to exterior issues such as sidewalk parking violations and street cleaning concerns, rather than internal building conditions. The most recent building-related permit activity suggests ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property's living spaces, though the building's age and history of maintenance work indicate that residents should anticipate occasional repairs and improvements.
