The property has gone through several since 2007 due to violations. Originally, the property was set up as a non-40B four-unit condominium complex. In 2007, the Board of Selectmen rejected Roslindale developer Michael Connolly’s application, but the state overturned the decision a year later, allowing it to become a five-unit 40B eligible complex.
