The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years.

Notably, there are active building violations from 2022 that remain unresolved, including issues with heating systems, sink drainage, roof/ceiling joists, lead paint hazards, plumbing fixtures, and stair repair needs. The building experienced significant heating system problems in early 2022 and had plumbing issues, including sewage-related complaints, in 2021. Recent improvements include a substantial residential unit remodel in 2023 ($80,000), comprehensive HVAC system upgrades in 2024, and electrical rewiring work also in 2024.

The commercial portion of the building underwent a change of use in 2016, converting from dry cleaning to restaurant space, and has since received several related improvements including fire suppression system installations and electrical upgrades. The property has a history of addressing various maintenance issues, including reroofing work in 2022, but continues to grapple with several unresolved building violations that impact resident comfort and safety. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing efforts to improve systems and spaces, though some work has required multiple permits and revisions, suggesting complexity in addressing various building systems and code compliance.
