Augrented Insights Report

The 9-unit, 1912 multi-family residential building at 1950-1960 Pierce Street in Lower Pacific Heights, currently owned by Sarah E Howald Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past three years. Most recently, in 2024, there were multiple complaints about window problems, including stuck and dislodged frames, and kitchen issues including water leaks, flooding, and unauthorized renovations. During this period, the building underwent several permitted repairs, including kitchen renovations in Unit 8, stair member replacements to address wood rot, and various electrical and plumbing updates.

The property has an ongoing history of fire safety concerns, with multiple blocked exits reported in 2024 and 2021, though these were corrected. A significant fire system upgrade was completed in 2018, including new control panels and detectors. The building has also faced various code compliance issues, with several requirements to repair or replace windows, including double-hung sashes and glass.

In 2022, there was a tenant buyout involving two tenants for $30,000. While many violations have been abated, including those related to window repairs and various building maintenance issues, there are recurring patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding windows, electrical systems, and fire safety compliance. The most recent issues from 2024, including unauthorized work and electrical concerns, suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.
