Augrented Insights Report

The 22-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2942 Franklin Street in the Marina district, constructed in 1924, has undergone significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years. The property has seen extensive unit renovations between 2019-2021, including complete remodels of apartments 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 14, featuring new kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems, with costs totaling over $500,000.

Recent plumbing upgrades include the installation of a new hydronic boiler and hot water heater in 2024. However, the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2023-2024, with complaints about inconsistent hot water, heating problems, and more recently, an active complaint regarding exterior maintenance (flaking paint/wood) as of July 2024. Fire safety systems have been a recurring concern, with violations related to fire alarms and extinguishers noted between 2018-2024, though some issues have been corrected or resolved.

The building has completed its soft-story retrofit requirements as a Tier 2 property. Recent tenant complaints have also highlighted issues with water leaks, window security, and heat maintenance, particularly during 2023-2024. A significant tenant buyout occurred in August 2018, totaling $131,789.71 for one tenant.
