Augrented Insights Report

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 29-33 Via Bufano in North Beach, owned by Tsang Wai Men, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several notable events throughout its history. Most concerning are several recent fire safety issues, including a blocked exits complaint in September 2021 (corrected) and multiple fire code violations in July 2020 related to fire extinguisher maintenance.

The building experienced significant safety violations in 2005, during which time inspectors identified issues with stairs, smoke detectors, self-closing security gates, and combustible storage, though these were all abated by June 2005. A back access stair replacement project was completed in 1999, and a street space permit was issued in 2013. The recent history of the building's vicinity shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding street and sidewalk conditions, with numerous 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to garbage, debris, and environmental issues.

Between April 2024 and December 2024, there were multiple reports of abandoned debris, including instances of human waste, and some sidewalk accessibility concerns. While these exterior issues don't directly impact the building's interior conditions, they do affect the general environment around the property. The building underwent two routine inspections, one in 1999 and another in 2005, both conducted by Housing Inspection Services, which identified various safety concerns that required attention.
