Augrented Insights Report

The 39-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 951 Ofarrell St, built in 1914 and currently owned by American Liberty Investment, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges in recent years. The building experienced a notable fire incident involving one civilian injury and undetermined ignition cause, and subsequently underwent extensive fire damage repairs in 2015 affecting units 14, 22, 24, 34, and 44, including bathroom and kitchen remodels and window replacement.

More recent renovations in 2019 included substantial updates to unit 11 (new electrical systems, smoke detectors, floors, cabinets) and unit 19 (general renovation, new drywall, cabinets, and bathroom fixtures). However, the building has faced persistent mechanical and safety concerns, including multiple boiler permit renewal issues between 2019-2021, heating system problems documented in 2021 complaints, and an elevator button malfunction in 2022 that particularly affected a blind tenant.

The property has also experienced recurring fire safety violations, with the most recent being for standpipe issues in July 2024, and historical problems with heating system maintenance and multiple housing code violations regarding egress, security, and lighting between 2001 and 2021. Infrastructure improvements have been significant, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2016, though the building continues to require ongoing maintenance as evidenced by multiple recent fire safety violation resolutions in 2023 and 2024, and various repair and renovation work completed throughout the 2010s.
