Augrented Insights Report

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1477 California Street, constructed in 1911, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance challenges over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit under San Francisco's earthquake safety program, achieving CFC (Certificate of Final Completion) status as a Tier 3 building.

Recent improvements include a unit #6 modification completed in 2024 to convert the living room into a bedroom and work related to fire safety systems, including a 2020 installation of new fire sprinkler heads and a fire alarm system upgrade. The building has experienced recurring issues with debris accumulation in the rear yard between 2020-2021, though recent complaints appear to have diminished.

Historical concerns from 2000-2002 included structural leaning and brick veneer cracking issues that have since been resolved. Notable utility upgrades include a 2020 boiler and plumbing system modernization, and a 2024 claim of unauthorized unit conversion work in unit #6 is currently under review. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to fire safety compliance, though there have been some recent 311 reports regarding exterior cleanliness issues, particularly concerning garbage and debris on the property grounds, most recently noted in late 2024.
