Augrented Insights Report

1439 Leavenworth Street is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1911 in the Nob Hill neighborhood, currently owned by the Jerold B Balzer Trust. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past four years, with major work completed between 2019-2022 including comprehensive unit remodels on multiple floors, installation of new bathrooms, kitchen renovations, window replacements, and updates to fire safety systems including a new fire alarm panel with low-frequency horns.

The building's plumbing system received substantial upgrades in 2020-2022, with the installation of tankless water heaters, shower pans, and comprehensive plumbing work across multiple units. The property has encountered several regulatory issues, most notably regarding boiler permits, with multiple complaints filed between 2016-2020 concerning unauthorized boiler operation. A significant building code violation was documented in October 2020 regarding unpermitted framing, plumbing, electrical, and structural work in unit #7, though this appears to have been subsequently addressed through proper permitting.

Recent concerns include a currently active complaint from January 2025 regarding illegal dumping of garbage and hazardous items near the property. The building has experienced typical fire-related incidents, including a CO detector malfunction, water leak, and contained cooking fire, none resulting in injuries. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing issues with garbage management around the property, though most were promptly resolved by city services.
