Maintenance work has also been carried out on the building in recent years. The balcony railings were replaced in 2021, new wooden decking was installed in early 2026, and painting work has been undertaken. Ownership The property is situated on freehold land. This means there is no ground lease (erfpacht) and no annual ground rent to pay. A welcome advantage in Amsterdam's property market! Foundation An important advantage of this characteristic building is that foundation restoration work was carried out in 2004. The available structural drawings relate to the foundation restoration of the building.
