The property has seen regular maintenance work, including kitchen remodels in 1998, 2000, and 2002, and structural improvements such as a shear wall installation in the garage space in 2017. The building has experienced several plumbing issues, including a significant sewer line repair in 2017. While there have been routine inspections showing no violations in 2019, the persistence of current active violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
