Augrented Insights Report

The 47-unit, 6-story apartment building at 890 Bush Street, owned by Ralston Capital-sf Multifam, was constructed in 1919 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in 2023, the building received both a new roof ($66,000) and upgraded backflow prevention for the steam heat boiler. The building's infrastructure has seen substantial upgrades, including a new hot water heater installation in 2019, replacement of 35 windows in 2017, and installation of new storage tanks in 2011.

The building's fire safety systems have required consistent attention, with multiple violations and corrections related to alarm systems between 2008-2023, including a recent sleeping area requirement violation issued in December 2023. Elevator maintenance has been a recurring issue, with complaints about outages (most recently in 2012, 2024) and a violation in 2024 regarding the absence of an on-site manager. The property has undergone significant unit upgrades, with extensive remodeling work completed in 2008 involving nine units (606, 602, 506, 501, 408, 402, 401, 306, 208) and unit 502, including electrical system upgrades, new fixtures, and kitchen/bath renovations. The building's plumbing system has also seen considerable improvements, including repiping work in 2008 and the replacement of major systems in 2011 and 2019.

While the building has a history of various maintenance issues, including a cluster of violations in 2010 related to elevator repair, combustible storage, and boiler maintenance, most violations have been addressed and closed. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm system activations, elevator rescues, and other emergency responses by fire services, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned street cleaning issues and abandoned items outside the building. A routine zoning verification letter was issued and closed in 2024, indicating compliance with local zoning regulations.
