The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with recent work including furnace installations for units 2739 and 2741 (2021), and various unit renovations (2019-2021). Two building complaints were filed regarding unauthorized work in 2019 and 2022, though these cases are now listed as "Not Active." The property has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls between 2024-2025, primarily related to common area concerns such as lighting, heat issues, and street-related matters. Several fire alarm incidents were recorded, but none resulted in civilian injuries, and a fire complaint regarding blocked exits from 2012 was found to have "No Merit." The building is also subject to zoning considerations, with a closed Variance request regarding off-street parking and rear yard issues from 2019, and an approved change of occupancy to accommodate a new dwelling unit including greenhouse replacement.
