The property at 1445-1457 La Salle Ave in the Bayview neighborhood is a multi-family residential complex owned by Bayview Preservation Lp, originally constructed in 1900. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with multiple permits issued in 2024 for roof replacement across several buildings, totaling approximately $170,000 in work, as well as substantial interior unit upgrades costing $384,000. These upgrades include new kitchen cabinets, countertops, appliances, bathroom fixtures, flooring, and interior doors in multiple units.

Additional recent work includes complete plumbing and electrical upgrades in units 221, 222, 321, 322, 223, 224, 323, 324, and 225-226, including new furnaces, water heaters, and light fixtures. The building has experienced several maintenance and quality of life issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2016-2018, including heating system failures, appliance malfunctions, and sanitation concerns such as garbage accumulation and rodent infestation. A recent complaint in December 2023 regarding hot water issues was resolved by February 2024.

Historical violations indicate past challenges with building systems and maintenance, though most issues from 2016-2018 were officially abated by December 2017. The property has had multiple instances of false fire alarms and system malfunctions recorded between 2009-2014, with no reported civilian injuries. The building's management has been active in addressing both routine maintenance and larger renovation projects, as evidenced by the substantial recent investments in infrastructure and unit improvements. While there have been periodic issues with building systems and maintenance, particularly in earlier years, recent years show significant capital improvements and fewer reported problems.
