Augrented Insights Report

The 23-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1330 Union Street in Russian Hill, constructed in 1908, is currently facing several significant issues that impact resident safety and comfort. Most notably, there is an active complaint from July 2024 regarding extensive visible mold inside a ground floor unit (Apartment 1) due to rainwater intrusion, with reports indicating lack of timely landlord response to remediation requests. The building has multiple current fire safety concerns, including open violations from 2024 regarding the sprinkler system and roof collection/drainage system, as well as fire alarm system issues dating back to 2023. Recent inspections have documented problems with water damage, damaged ceilings and walls, and lead-based paint concerns that require attention.

The property has undergone substantial unit renovations between 2016 and 2018, including comprehensive updates to Units 6, 20, and 22 featuring kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and the installation of modern appliances, though these improvements appear to have been completed without proper permitting for some work. The building has a history of fire safety violations, with multiple citation patterns observed between 2017 and 2024 involving alarm systems, sprinkler/standpipe systems, and sleeping area requirements. While some previous violations (such as those from 2023 and 2024) have been abated, there remain open issues requiring resolution. The property has also experienced periodic maintenance challenges, as evidenced by boiler permit renewal issues in 2016 and 2020, and various 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sidewalk defects, garbage and debris, and tree maintenance.

Recent fire system upgrades are underway, with an approved permit from February 2024 for upgrading the fire alarm system to current codes, though this work appears to address only part of the building's fire safety deficiencies. The building's recent maintenance history shows considerable investment in unit improvements, with approximately $350,000 spent on various renovations between 2016 and 2018, including electrical upgrades to 400 amps, plumbing improvements, and general unit modernization. However, the persistence of both open violations and recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property management's response to recent habitability issues, particularly regarding moisture control and fire safety compliance, may warrant further attention, given the age of the building and the complexity of its systems.
