Augrented Insights Report

The 54-unit, 4-story apartment building at 820 O'Farrell St, owned by Jordan Housing Corp, has a history of significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1916. Recent plumbing work completed in 2023 involved replacing waste drain stacks and air vent stacks in multiple units (100, 200, 300, 400 series), following similar extensive plumbing work in 2022 affecting various units. The building has experienced recurring elevator problems, with complaints in 2022, 2023, and most recently in May 2024.

Fire safety has been a persistent concern, with multiple violations recorded between 2021-2024, including issues with sleeping area requirements, sprinkler systems, and various fire code violations. The property has undergone several major maintenance projects, including a $35,000 repair of decorative columns and waterproofing of the entry area in 2022, and extensive plumbing system upgrades throughout 2022-2023. In 2024, a fire alarm verification project was completed to check sound levels in sleeping rooms.

The building has experienced various resident comfort issues, including reports of water damage, plumbing problems, and concerns about mold/mildew in recent years. Historical violations from 2001 included multiple building maintenance issues such as lighting, ceiling repairs, and interior surface problems, though these were subsequently resolved. The property's fire safety history shows occasional false alarms and other fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries.
