Augrented Insights Report

The 138-unit, three-story apartment building at 1501-1515 Sutter Street, owned by Litke Properties, Inc., has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years, with multiple tenant complaints about inadequate heat in late 2021 and 2019, including documented violations for failure to provide proper heating in December 2021. The building's safety systems have undergone various updates, including a 2012 emergency fire alarm panel replacement and recent fire safety violations in 2023 for sleeping area requirements and in 2022 regarding sprinkler service.

Recent complaints from October 2024 raised concerns about emergency window access on the first floor near the trash room. The property has maintained its telecommunications infrastructure with multiple upgrades, including a rooftop T-Mobile cell site installation in 2006 and related equipment updates through 2013, while recent plumbing records show the installation of new boilers in 2019-2020.

The building has experienced several fire alarm activations, though most were false alarms or caused by system malfunctions, with no reported civilian injuries. Recent months have seen multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris outside the building, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between August 2024 and January 2025. While many historical violations have been addressed, including past security and self-closing door issues from 2011, the building's heating system reliability and fire safety requirements have remained ongoing concerns.
