Augrented Insights Report

The property at 1215-1217 Vallejo Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Russian Hill, built in 1908 and currently owned by Martin D & Chery J Chew 199. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with comprehensive modernization work completed between 2022-2024, including the creation of finished space on the ground floor, kitchen relocations, bathroom remodels, and conversion of bedrooms into a primary suite. The renovation project, valued at approximately $320,000, included electrical rewiring of both units, new plumbing systems, installation of forced air heaters, and window replacements.

All major building permits related to this work have been marked as complete, with the final electrical and plumbing inspections completed in mid-2024. The building's history includes several important safety and maintenance milestones. In 2018, there was a notable incident involving excessive storage and egress obstructions that resulted in enforcement actions, though this was resolved by August 2019.

More recently, in March 2024, there were two incidents involving fire escape obstructions, though these were promptly addressed and marked as condition corrected by late March 2024. The property has been maintained with attention to structural integrity, as evidenced by shotcrete foundation work completed in late 2022, which revised earlier concrete foundation plans. Historical records from 1993 indicate termite repairs were performed, demonstrating ongoing care for the building's maintenance needs. The extensive recent renovations, combined with the prompt resolution of safety issues and proper documentation of building permits, suggest active ownership and management of the property.
