Augrented Insights Report

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1218-1220 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill was constructed in 1913 and contains 7 units, currently owned by Li Shao Gang. The most recent significant event was a complaint filed in July 2023 regarding improper lead paint removal practices during exterior painting work, which allegedly involved dry scraping of leaded paint without proper safety precautions or permits, though this issue was marked as abated in September 2023. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including wellness center renovations in 2016 (costing $6,700), which involved lighting and plumbing updates, and various unit repairs such as wall repairs in Unit #5 in 2010 ($1,000).

The property has experienced multiple violations and complaints throughout its history, with the most serious issues documented in 2000, including a comprehensive list of interior surface problems such as damaged walls and ceilings, mold/mildew, plumbing issues, and concerns about lead paint hazards. While these violations were officially abated in September 2008, the building has continued to face periodic compliance issues, including an egress obstruction at the fire escape in 2013 and a routine inspection in 2016. A carbon monoxide incident was recorded, but fortunately, there were no civilian injuries.

More recent maintenance work has included various plumbing and electrical updates, though some permits from 2016 were canceled or expired without completion confirmation. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring, with particular attention needed to past lead paint hazards and fire safety concerns. The most recent inspection in 2023 related to painting safety practices indicates continuing attention to building maintenance and resident safety requirements.
