WC facilities are on alternate floors (M 2nd & 4th floors/F 1st, 3rd and 5th floors) though some tenants have installed their own in addition. Suspended grid ceilings with inset lighting are fitted, and floors are carpeted. The fifth floor is air conditioned, the landlord installed a new air conditioning system in 2021 to third and fourth floors, and the tenants on first and second floors have installed their own cassette air conditioning units or electric panel radiators. Gas fired boilers are installed in the basement but not currently used.
