The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2390 43rd Ave in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, owned by Battaglia Gst Tr Fbo Joyce, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1958. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofitting in 2017 as a Tier 3 property, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent fire safety improvements include a 2018 fire alarm system upgrade and the replacement of the fire panel, indicating attention to current safety standards.

The building has received various window upgrades over the years, including window replacements in 2012-2013 and 1986, improving energy efficiency and compliance with building codes. The property has experienced some concerning issues in recent years, with a notable complaint filed in October 2023 regarding improper use of the air shaft as a garbage chute, which allegedly created health hazards. This complaint, while marked as not active, may indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Historical records from 2002 show multiple fire safety violations related to fire extinguishers, combustible storage, and gas utility requirements in the garage area, though these were abated by May 2002.

The building's maintenance history includes regular updates to critical systems, such as electrical upgrades in 2018 and 2012 and a garage fuse box replacement, suggesting ongoing investment in building infrastructure. The property has experienced minimal fire incidents, with two recorded cooking-related fires contained to containers, and no civilian injuries reported. Recent activity around the property, particularly in 2024-2025, shows multiple reports of garbage and debris issues near the building's vicinity, though these are generally considered external to the building itself. The most recent technical inspections and maintenance records indicate that major safety improvements, particularly regarding seismic retrofitting and fire safety systems, have been properly completed and documented.
