Augrented Insights Report

The 81-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 500 Geary Street, managed by 22 Battery Street Inc and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over recent years. The property has undergone multiple AT&T telecommunications equipment upgrades between 2014 and 2024, with the most recent permit filed in January 2024 for antenna and equipment replacement work.

The building's fire safety systems have seen substantial improvements, including a $68,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 that added low-frequency sounders throughout common areas and replaced various components to meet current safety standards. Several plumbing upgrades have been completed, including domestic hot water boiler replacement in 2019 and steam boiler replacement in 2015, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of building infrastructure. The building has faced various health and safety challenges, including a mold/mildew complaint in September 2019, and multiple fire code violations in recent years, with the most recent violations issued in 2024 related to sprinkler/standpipe systems and sleeping area requirements.

Historical violations from 2012 included issues with window sashes, ceilings, and plumbing fixtures, though these were abated by November 2012. The property has experienced recurring issues with false fire alarms and system activations, though no civilian injuries have been reported in these incidents. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate ongoing external maintenance challenges, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and encampments in the vicinity of the building, though these are external to the property itself and managed by street maintenance services.
