Augrented Insights Report

The 15-unit apartment building at 1240 California Street in Nob Hill, owned by Sally R. Riordan, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in July 2024, there was a report of a cockroach infestation in Unit 15, and in July 2023, concerns were raised about a broken front door glass and safety issues.

The building has undergone various maintenance projects, including the installation of mandatory second egress in 2013 (with a cost of $15,000) and multiple repairs to stairs and landings, most recently in 2016. Plumbing improvements were made in 2009, including the installation of hot water and cold water lines from the meter to the boiler room. The building has faced several safety and compliance issues over the years, with multiple inspections revealing violations that required attention.

In 2021, there was a notice regarding an unpermitted boiler operation, and in 2009, there were violations related to egress obstruction, combustible storage, and electrical issues. The building experienced a significant concern in March 2007 when there were reports of potential foundation undermining due to soil collapse during nearby construction. Fire safety has also been an ongoing concern, with multiple complaints and violations related to sprinkler/standpipe systems between 2015 and 2022, and a general hazardous materials complaint in 2022 that was found to have no merit. The most recent routine housing inspections have continued to reveal various maintenance and safety issues that require attention, though many older violations have been marked as abated.
