The three-story multi-family residential building at 1731-1735 Pine Street, constructed in 1907, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. The most recent major construction project was the installation of a 500 sq. ft.

roof deck in 2018, which raised safety concerns when residents reported that it was being used improperly and became cluttered with various items, including a gas heater. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, including rodent problems, moisture-related concerns such as leaks and mold, and electrical safety problems with exposed wires, as documented in complaints from 2023, 2017, 2015, and 1999. Notable improvements include a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling project in 2015 (with associated plumbing and electrical work), structural improvements in 2012 with mudsill bolting to the foundation for seismic safety, and basement repairs in 2017.

The property's history shows attention to fire safety, with violations in 2011 related to combustible storage requiring resolution, and two fire-related complaints in 2023 and 2015 that were promptly addressed. Recent exterior maintenance issues have been documented through multiple 311 calls between 2023 and 2024, primarily regarding street cleaning and garbage concerns. The building has undergone regular housing inspections over the years, with routine violations being addressed, although some recent complaints regarding the roof deck and fire escape maintenance suggest ongoing management challenges. The property owner appears to have actively pursued improvements to the building's amenities, as evidenced by the various remodeling projects and permits obtained, though some of these improvements have led to resident concerns about safety and proper use.
