My thoughts as well. Does anyone here have any insight on if it's misguided to worry here? Second, what exactly, if anything, can be done to fix the lean, or prevent it from leaning any further?

Depends on what your worry is. It can lose value. There are many options to keep it straight but they all come with some disadvantages. Worst case you build something next to it and tether them together.

You can't really build anything next to that building. It's surrounded on three sides by major thoroughfares and a brand new terminal on the fourth.
