Augrented Insights Report

The 11-unit, 4-story apartment building at 2418 Van Ness Ave in Russian Hill, constructed in 1909, has undergone significant renovations and faced several notable issues in recent years. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $30,000. Recent building complaints from late 2023 and 2020 raised concerns about unauthorized construction work affecting plumbing and structural elements, though these issues were subsequently closed.

The property has a history of renovation activity, with several units receiving kitchen and bathroom updates between 2017-2020, including work in Units 8, 10, and 12, along with electrical upgrades in Unit 12 in 2017. The building has experienced recurring issues with construction-related disturbances, notably reported in complaints from 2017-2020. Fire safety inspections have revealed multiple violations over the years, including issues with fire extinguishers and alarm systems, though these were generally promptly corrected.

Recent complaints from 2024 indicate ongoing concerns about excessive noise and building maintenance. The property has maintained active responses to infrastructure needs, including boiler replacements in 2018 and various plumbing upgrades. A pattern of construction-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with work management and noise control, while fire safety violations indicate periodic lapses in building system maintenance and verification.
