Augrented Insights Report

The 1306 California Street property is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill and built in 1914, currently owned by Kwan Anson. The building has undergone significant improvements over recent years, most notably the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) completed in 2024, with associated upgrades including a sprinkler system (2023), radiant heating flooring (2023), and electrical service panel upgrade to 400 amps (2022). The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2024, securing compliance with earthquake safety requirements.

Recent maintenance and improvements include comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels in units 2, 3, and 6 (2022), re-roofing (2021), and various plumbing upgrades including new water heaters and radiant heating systems. However, there have been recurring infrastructure issues, particularly regarding plumbing and waste management, with several complaints about sewer flooding and exposed waste reported through 311 calls in 2023 and 2024. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, including a period without hot water in late 2022, flooding issues reported in 2024, and a recent complaint regarding improperly contained paint scrapings (2022).

The property has a history of code compliance challenges, particularly regarding its soft-story retrofit status, which resulted in violations filed in 2017 and 2019, though these issues were ultimately resolved with the completion of the retrofit work. Past building violations from 2011 included multiple safety and maintenance concerns such as fire alarm system deficiencies and sanitation issues, all of which were abated by 2012. While the building has maintained active compliance with major safety requirements since then, including fire safety retrofits and regular inspections, the recurrence of plumbing and waste management issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges that are being addressed through various permits and repairs.
