Normal salt spray and acid rain can cause oxidation and corrosion of the exterior copper plates, and more importantly the iron framework. Major repairs took place between 1984 and 1986, at which time the lead-based primer coatings were replaced with zinc silicate.

On October 28, 2012, the US Park Service completed its latest repairs and renovations to the Statue, including work on the interior and upgrades to the public spaces. However, it was closed again until July 4, 2013 because of damage to Liberty Island by Hurricane Sandy.
