Augrented Insights Report

The 42-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 281-299 Turk Street, constructed in 1923 and owned by Fo 285 Turk Street Property, has undergone significant renovations and faced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are active concerns regarding mold issues in multiple units (as of January 2025), along with recent complaints about heating systems and hot water availability in March 2024.

The building has shown ongoing fire safety deficiencies, with recent violations issued in September 2024 related to sleeping area requirements and standpipe systems, and a history of alarm system problems including multiple false alarms and activations. Recent improvements include a fire alarm system upgrade in July 2023 featuring low-frequency sounders and new equipment, as well as boiler replacements in mid-2024, though these updates followed periods of inadequate heating system performance. Between 2017 and 2018, the building underwent substantial interior improvements to multiple units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, and conversions of studio units to one-bedroom layouts in units 204, 302, 303, 404, and 607.

However, building maintenance issues have persisted, with multiple tenant complaints regarding plumbing, heating, and electrical systems. In addition to the recent mold complaints, there have been reports of pest issues and concerns about maintenance response times. While many historical violations related to fire safety and building maintenance have been abated, including those from 2000 (skylight and sprinkler issues) and 2006 (exit and waste management violations), the pattern of recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and systems reliability.

2025-06-16 00:00:00+00:00NoneHousing Inspection ServicesOn june 10, 2025, the garbage disposal in my unit (apt 604 at 285 turk street) began making a loud metal-on-metal grinding sound, then stopped spinning entirely. i attempted to reset the unit and eventually got it to spin again, but it continues to make abnormal grinding noises ¿ like something is stuck inside.to troubleshoot, i used a magnet tool to check for metal debris and even used an endoscope to look inside. i found nothing visible and was unable to retrieve any object. the issue appears mechanical or internal and is beyond tenant-level troubleshooting.since the disposal has been compromised, the dishwasher is now also malfunctioning ¿ water isn¿t draining properly, likely because the disposal is part of the shared drainage system. this is beginning to create hygiene concerns and a risk of backup or further plumbing damage if left unrepaired.i submitted an emergency maintenance request through 2bliving¿s tenant portal on june 10. as of june 13, i have received no response Not Active View on DBI
