Augrented Insights Report

The 16-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1890 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Fortune Investment Company, has a complex maintenance and compliance history dating back to its 1923 construction. Most recently, in 2023, the building experienced several significant issues, including two violations related to lead abatement and weather protection that were abated in August 2023. A December 2023 fire violation regarding sleeping area requirements has been referred for hearing. The building underwent important seismic upgrades in 2003, addressing its unreinforced masonry construction, and received a new roof in 2004 at a cost of $32,700.

More recent infrastructure work includes water service replacement in 2018. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly evident in a 2003 complaint that documented various issues including window problems, water leaks, floor damage, and an unstable elevator. Between 2021 and 2023, there were multiple fire system-related violations that were generally corrected promptly, though a December 2023 sleeping area requirement violation is still pending resolution. The building's exterior has been a recurring concern, with complaints about unmaintained paint and potential lead hazards emerging as recently as 2023.

The property has also experienced various interior maintenance issues over the years, including problems with ceilings, floors, and storage areas that have typically been resolved through required corrections. While there have been several fire response calls to the address, none resulted in civilian injuries, and most were for routine matters such as alarm system checks and invalid assists. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance work, including multiple reroofing projects in the 1990s, storage area remodeling in 1992, and various street-related permits. Recent exterior maintenance concerns culminated in a 2023 complaint about unauthorized scaffolding and debris management during construction work. The property has shown some responsiveness to maintenance issues, with many violations being addressed through required corrective actions, though some recent violations related to lead protection and sleeping area requirements remain an active concern as of 2023.
