The 14-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 1096 Pine Street, owned by Pitto 1994 Trust and constructed in 1913, has undergone significant maintenance and improvement work over the past several years. Most recently, in 2023, Unit 503 received a comprehensive $60,000 renovation including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical updates including removal of a federal Pacific brand circuit, and plumbing work. The building has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades, including a 2019 project to replace 36 non-historic aluminum windows with wood Marvin Ultimate windows across levels 2-4. A notable concern emerged in 2022-2023 with water damage issues, leading to multiple violations regarding repairs to walls, ceilings, carpet, and tile.

The building currently has two active boiler permit violations from 2024, though historical records show boiler work was completed in 2009. There have been recurring fire safety issues, with recent violations in 2023 regarding sprinkler services and historical problems with alarm systems and extinguishers between 2008 and 2024, though most were corrected promptly. The property has experienced several infrastructure challenges, including elevator breakdowns (documented in 2010), multiple water-related incidents, and periods of construction dust affecting common areas. Major renovation work has been regularly performed throughout the building's history, with multiple units receiving modern updates including new kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems.

The building's management has generally addressed violations and complaints within reasonable timeframes, though some water damage issues have persisted over multiple reporting periods. Emergency response records indicate primarily non-life-threatening incidents, including elevator rescues and system malfunctions. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily concern external maintenance issues like garbage and debris. The building's history shows ongoing investment in improvements, with several substantial renovation projects undertaken to maintain and upgrade the property's systems and living spaces.
