The I-beams were originally painted a shade of red to match, but they were repainted black during the installation of elevators at the station.

Tile bands are also present in the mezzanines, and matching "T" (for Tremont) plaques have been fitted—the only IND station to feature these.

It uses a mixture of glass and marble mosaics to create a full width display of a Bronx apartment building with a rooftop garden, and clothes hanging out on a line to dry on a cloudy day.

In 2019, the MTA announced that this station would become ADA-accessible as part of the agency's 2020–2024 Capital Program.

An alternate proposal for the installation of the elevator to the street would have placed it at the southwest corner of that intersection.
