Most recently, in 2024, the building underwent a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current fire code requirements, with work completed in September 2024.

The building has faced recurring fire safety compliance matters, with the most recent fire-related complaint in August 2023 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance, though this was promptly resolved. There were also multiple sewer-related issues documented between 2022-2023, indicating ongoing plumbing infrastructure challenges.

The property has had various repairs and upgrades over the years, including stair repairs, kitchen renovations, and exterior maintenance, though some historical permits from 2000 and 2002 for siding repairs and painting are listed as expired. The building's fire safety systems have required periodic attention, as evidenced by violations and inspections between 2019-2024, including issues with fire escapes, storage in pathways, and fire alarm system modifications. While many of these issues have been addressed through appropriate permits and repairs, the building's history shows a pattern of water-related problems, fire safety compliance efforts, and periodic maintenance requirements typical of its age and structure type.
