Augrented Insights Report

The Normandy Apartments, located at 1135-1175 Ellis Street in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood, is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1968, containing 108 units of studio and one-bedroom apartments. The property is currently undergoing significant fire safety upgrades, with multiple recent permits issued or completed in 2023 for fire alarm system replacements and new low-frequency horns to meet current fire safety codes, with the most recent permit filed in October 2023 costing $77,000. Building management has been addressing various maintenance issues over the past year, including an active leak-related complaint from December 2024, concerns about elevator reliability affecting disabled residents in 2024, and recurring water intrusion problems noted by multiple residents between 2021-2024.

A comprehensive rehabilitation project is currently under review that aims to address fire safety, building code compliance, and hazardous materials removal, while also preserving affordability for existing residents. The building has a history of some maintenance challenges that have been addressed over time, including a significant roofing project completed in 2012 costing $40,000, and the replacement of multiple skylights. Several building violations and complaints related to fire safety systems have been documented, with most issues being corrected promptly.

Recent complaints from 2024 indicate ongoing concerns about water leaks and elevator reliability, though many historical maintenance issues have been resolved. The property has experienced typical urban challenges such as garbage disposal issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in January 2025, though these do not directly impact resident safety or building conditions. While the building has had various fire-related incidents recorded, including cooking fires and electrical issues, none have resulted in civilian injuries, and most fire system violations have been promptly corrected when brought to management's attention. The current focus on fire alarm system upgrades and the proposed rehabilitation project suggest an active commitment to improving building safety and infrastructure.
