Unlock complete reportThe property at 1707 Karen Avenue in the Brentwood neighborhood is currently undergoing significant development as of 2024, with construction of a new 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath single-family residence complete with a two-car garage, and a detached garage apartment above including one bedroom and one bathroom. The project, which also includes a new pool, follows the total demolition of a circa 1955 single-family residence that occurred in October 2022. Throughout the construction period, the property has experienced a notable number of code enforcement interactions, with four complaints recorded between June 2023 and May 2025, including two property abatement cases and one structure condition violation, though all these cases have been marked as closed. The building's permit activity has been substantial, with 13 permits issued over the past seven years and a total permit valuation of $4.0 million. Additional records show seven 311 service requests primarily related to recycling and property maintenance matters between 2025 and 2026, including a property damage report in April 2026 and traffic sign maintenance request in August 2025, all of which have been resolved.
