Augrented Insights Report

Located in San Francisco's Financial District North, 679 Pine Street is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Hill Family Trust 2020. The building has undergone several significant safety-related improvements over the years, including seismic upgrades with bolts installation in 2000 (valued at $54,000) and reroofing work in 2001 ($17,800).

The property has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple inspections and complaints between 2015 and 2023 regarding fire escape functionality, alarm systems, and extinguishers, though most were marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit." A notable water damage incident was reported in 2011, impacting interior surfaces. The building's maintenance history shows attention to street space and sidewalk areas, with permits issued in 2005 and 2007, though these improvements are relatively minor compared to structural and safety upgrades.

Recent building-wide issues include a sewage backup incident from a side sewer vent in June 2024. The property has experienced recurring exterior maintenance challenges in 2024, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and sanitation issues in the vicinity. While the building has a history of fire system inspections and corrections between 2015-2023, indicating active monitoring of safety systems, the persistence of various maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention to building upkeep is required.
