The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2010, including a $35,000 kitchen remodel in both units, electrical panel updates, and plumbing work including water heater replacement and sink modifications.

Earlier improvements included the replacement of 15 windows in 2003 ($9,200) and a bathroom remodel in 2001 ($10,600). The building experienced some concerning issues in the 1990s, including a plumbing problem in 1994 that was resolved within a month, and foundation repair work was permitted in 2000, though the permit status is listed as expired. Recent maintenance and service records show periodic sewer-related issues, with a notable sewage backup incident reported in May 2022 that was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations.

The property has also had multiple instances of abandoned vehicle reporting in the vicinity between 2021 and 2024, though these external issues do not directly impact the building's condition. The neighborhood has seen various parking enforcement matters and roadway concerns, with the most recent interactions in 2023 and 2024 primarily involving parking violations and roadway obstructions. While the building's documented renovations suggest regular maintenance and updating of essential systems, the age of the building and some past plumbing issues indicate typical wear experienced by properties of this vintage.
