This is used for City of Cambridge vehicle storage from all I can see as Ive seen many tracks going to it and there is also going to be an alarm. Id almost class it as "Active" from the get-go. EDIT: Winter 2021. Tire tracks going in and out of both garage doors. the building is heated and has power. This is locked in the small amount of possible entrys it could have and once again, the alarm stickers. I wager they arent messing around. Ive had many an encounter with City owned buildings. Impenetrable unless left open and in 2 years....not once Ive seen.
