Augrented Insights Report

2186 California Street is a 3-story, 22-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Alan Amir Razavi. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including a completed fire alarm system upgrade in January 2024 costing nearly $50,000, and an earlier modification in March 2022 to comply with fire code requirements by adding low-frequency sounders. The property has faced multiple maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most recent being open violations related to sleeping area requirements from December 2023.

Historical problems include a pattern of unauthorized construction work and associated tenant complaints between 2015-2020, particularly concerning Units 25 and 35, as well as issues with exterior maintenance and fire safety systems. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety upgrades, including a 2012 seismic upgrade of sill plates and post/beam systems. Several plumbing and electrical improvements have been made over the years, though some permits from 2020 related to kitchen remodeling and tub replacement were marked as expired.

A notable series of building violations was recorded in May 2002 regarding fire escape maintenance, handrail requirements, and other building issues, though these were abated by December 2002. More recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 mostly concern external issues like graffiti, tree maintenance, and street cleaning rather than building-specific problems. The property has experienced several routine fire safety inspections, with violations documented in 2018 (alarm systems), 2021 (sprinkler/standpipe systems), and most recently in December 2023 (sleeping area requirements). While most historical complaints have been resolved, the recent violations suggest ongoing attention to fire safety requirements is needed.
