Augrented Insights Report

The property at 342 Austin Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Bill & Lai Lum Family Trust. The building's recent history shows a concerning mold complaint filed in August 2023, documented by Housing Inspection Services, which has not yet been marked as abated. This incident represents the most significant recent issue affecting resident health and safety.

The building had two street space permits issued in 2019 (M1147448 and M1127267), though these permits had minimal associated costs of only $1.00 each. Going back further, records indicate the completion of a reroofing project in 1990. The surrounding area has experienced various municipal service issues over the past year, including multiple reports of garbage and debris problems (most recently in December 2024), blocked sidewalks (February 2024), and noise concerns related to garbage collection (July 2023).

Three street space permits were issued between 2023-2024, including a request for service in October 2023. The location has faced challenges typical of urban environments, such as temporary encampments (April and October 2023), which were addressed through city services. The only fire incident recorded was an unintentional alarm transmission with no civilian injuries, though the date is not specified.
