Augrented Insights Report

The three-unit, three-story Edwardian building at 1272-1276 California Street in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood has a complex history marked by both permitted improvements and multiple unauthorized construction activities. Built in 1909, this multi-family residential building underwent several documented improvements, including a $22,000 kitchen renovation in 2019 and a $23,000 reroofing project in 2012. However, it has faced significant unauthorized construction issues, with the most recent complaint filed in August 2024 regarding illegal ground floor development including framing, insulation, and rough-in electrical/plumbing work.

This pattern of unauthorized work is not new; similar complaints were recorded between 2019 and 2020, suggesting a persistent issue with proper permitting compliance. Earlier improvements included basement concrete work with moisture collection systems and bathroom remodeling in 2009, which were properly permitted. The building's recent activity has generated multiple complaints about construction noise and work hours, particularly during 2019-2020, though some of these complaints have been marked as inactive.

311 service calls from 2022-2024 primarily relate to street-level maintenance issues, including waste management and sidewalk cleaning, rather than building-specific concerns. While the property has undergone various improvements over the years, the recurring pattern of unauthorized modifications, particularly during the 2019-2024 period, is noteworthy. The most recent active building complaint from August 2024 remains under investigation, with monthly monitoring fees already applied as of November 2024. The building's documented history includes routine inspections from 2001 and 2016, with no violations noted from these inspections.
