Augrented Insights Report

1821 Pacific Avenue is a three-story, 15-unit apartment building constructed in 1972, currently owned by the Irene Fok Li Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years, including a $20,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 to comply with updated safety regulations, installation of new sprinkler monitoring, and the addition of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building experienced critical safety issues in August 2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding gas leaks and improperly vented water heater systems, with recorded carbon monoxide levels reported at 1000 ppm (five times the legal limit), though these issues were subsequently addressed through plumbing permits in 2020 and 2018. The building has had various maintenance and safety improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2016 ($32,000) and the replacement of main electrical equipment in 2021. Historical records show multiple fire safety violations in 2018 related to sprinkler systems, alarm maintenance, and emergency lighting, though these were all abated.

The property has also faced infrastructure challenges, including recurring water issues with leaks in common areas (noted in 2016 and 2018), and there are currently two open sidewalk defect complaints from August 2024 regarding a collapsed sidewalk. While the building has had periodic fire alarm system activations and inspections, no significant injuries or fires have been recorded. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to garbage and debris maintenance issues outside the building.
