Augrented Insights Report

The 44-unit, 5-story apartment building at 965 Geary Street, built in 1912, has undergone significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, particularly in fire safety systems. In 2023-2024, the building received major upgrades to its fire alarm system, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, emergency lighting, and smoke detector enhancements, along with new steam heating boilers and associated systems.

Historical records show the building has addressed several structural issues, including cracked brick repairs and underpinning work in 2007, seismic upgrades in 1999, and a complete reroofing in 2000. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent tenant complaints in late 2024 focusing on general building maintenance concerns, including odors and basement conditions, along with a broken call box issue in 2024. Previous violations have included fire safety concerns (sleeping area requirements, blocked exits, fire extinguisher maintenance), elevator outages (notably in 2021 and 2002), and plumbing issues.

A significant incident was reported in 2012 involving mold and water damage in multiple units. The building has also experienced various service interruptions and infrastructure challenges, including a broken garbage chute (2002) and construction-related noise complaints. While many historical violations have been abated, recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic building upkeep.
