Augrented Insights Report

The 21-unit, three-story apartment building at 401 Avila Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Chas J Grisez Co, LP, has a long history dating back to its 1931 construction. The property has experienced a pattern of fire alarm system issues, with the most recent maintenance occurring in June 2024 when an upgrade was implemented to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements at a cost of $59,092.

A notable violation related to sleeping area requirements was issued in December 2023, with another open violation noted in February 2024, indicating ongoing compliance issues with sleeping area requirements. The building has undergone several important infrastructure improvements, including a backflow device replacement in 2020 to address vibration issues, and both the installation of new vinyl windows in Unit 307 in 2012 and a domestic hot water boiler installation in 2008. Recent records from 2024 show multiple parking-related incidents near the property, with at least eight parking enforcement citations issued between November 2024 and January 2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the area.

The building's fire alarm system has a documented history of false alarms and malfunctions, with multiple incidents recorded between 2015 and 2023, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Historical modifications include an attempted seismic strengthening of the garage level in 1992 (submission disapproved) and various street space permits over the years. The property has also recently faced issues with a missing side sewer vent cover, which was resolved in January 2025.
