28 heat or hot-water complaints in the last three years (winter 2024–25: 16 · winter 2025–26: 12). Repeated winter clusters suggest a chronic heating problem.

$14,275,535 in permitted construction work filed since 2016 (53 filings with a declared cost) — a rough measure of how actively the owner maintains the building. Permit costs cover filed construction work only — they do not capture routine maintenance or repairs done without a permit.
