Augrented Insights Report

The 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1270 Chestnut Street in Russian Hill, owned by Joseph T Camisa since 2017, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1924. Between 2013 and 2014, three units (1, 2, and 3) received bathroom renovations including complete fixture replacements, and unit 3 also had a living room wall heater updated.

Other improvements during this period included the removal of an internal garbage chute, installation of a new flue system, bathroom upgrades, and electrical improvements. More concerning is the recent history of building violations, with the most recent complaints filed in May 2024 citing failure to follow lead abatement procedures and inadequate weather protection.

A notable complaint from May 2024 regarding the building's condition described "significant portions of front exterior" with severely peeling paint affecting the front elevation, windows, garage door, and tradesman door. The building's safety systems have required attention, with past violations in 2007 and 2015 related to fire safety equipment, including fire extinguishers and central alarm systems. The property has also faced various local environmental challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sidewalk cleanliness, illegal parking, and encampments in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself.
