Augrented Insights Report

The 1040 Sutter Street building is a 47-unit, 6-story multi-family residential structure built in 1924 and owned by Bon Aire Group LLC. The property has undergone numerous renovations over the past two decades, with the most significant recent work being a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement completed in 2023, which included installation of 14 pull stations, 28 smoke detectors, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms, costing over $106,000.

The building has a consistent history of unit renovations, particularly between 2013-2018, with multiple units receiving kitchen and bathroom upgrades including Units 20, 22, 23, 32, 37, 42, 43, and 64. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being elevator reliability and fire safety compliance. There were multiple elevator-related complaints in 2022, particularly affecting disabled residents on higher floors.

Fire safety violations have been documented in 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, though a July 2023 violation related to fire systems certification was previously resolved. The building also faced multiple building code violations in late 2018 through 2022, including issues with window maintenance, window hardware, and self-certification of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Complaints have been made about mold in common areas, particularly regarding ventilation issues in the laundry room, and there have been recurring problems with window functionality and plumbing fixtures, as evidenced by multiple tenant complaints.
