Augrented Insights Report

This three-story, 17-unit multi-family apartment building, located in Pacific Heights and built in 1909, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, in October 2023 and again in September 2024, the building received mandatory fire alarm upgrades, including the installation of a new fire alarm panel, life safety horns in units, and a wireless radio communicator system at a cost of approximately $25,526. In 2016, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit to improve seismic safety.

The property has experienced recurrent water-related issues, most notably a significant sewage pipe failure in February 2021 that caused extensive flooding in multiple units, along with subsequent plumbing maintenance work including the installation of a new boiler system in 2015 and lightwell drainage improvements in 2021. There have been multiple heating system complaints throughout the building's history, with the most recent heating-related issues reported in 2015 and 2024. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges and code compliance issues, including several building violations and complaints concerning interior surfaces, lead paint concerns, and historical fire safety equipment deficiencies.

A cluster of violations from early 2021 involved water damage, mold, and infestation problems, while 2015 saw heating system failures resulting in temporary violation notices. The property's management has completed various improvement projects over the years, including a 2007 reroofing project and kitchen cabinet renovations in 2005. Regular safety inspections have been conducted throughout the years, with some concerns requiring follow-up actions, including four routine safety inspections in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2021. While recent fire alarm upgrades and the completion of the soft-story retrofit demonstrate investment in building safety, the property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges that have occasionally required formal complaint processes to address.
