Augrented Insights Report

The 16-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1637 Sacramento Street in Nob Hill was constructed in 1907 and is currently owned by SF Multifamily 111 Property. The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably an upgrade to its fire alarm system in early 2023 to comply with current codes, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and various smoke detection equipment at a cost of nearly $69,000. Recent concerns have included fire safety issues, with a complaint regarding combustible materials in August 2024 and a violation in December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements.

The property has a history of unit renovations between 2018 and 2021, including multiple apartments receiving kitchen and bathroom upgrades, some with washer/dryer installations, and associated electrical and plumbing work. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, with notable violations in 2021 regarding water damage and interior surfaces, and multiple fire safety concerns including sprinkler and alarm system issues. A recent complaint from July 2023 raised concerns about the back fire escape being covered with debris, though this matter is listed as not active. The property underwent soft-story seismic retrofitting, achieving Tier 2 compliance.

Historical complaints indicate various maintenance challenges, particularly regarding drainage issues in 2017-2018, and unauthorized construction work in 2012. The building's location has seen periodic issues requiring 311 calls for various concerns, primarily relating to street cleaning and waste removal. The property's recent history shows active management with numerous completed permits and improvements, though some maintenance and safety-related concerns have persisted. The most recent building improvements focus on fire safety compliance, while ongoing unit upgrades suggest continued investment in building maintenance and modernization.
