Augrented Insights Report

The three-unit, three-story building at 571 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900, has experienced significant maintenance and habitability challenges in recent years. The property has active violations from July 2023 regarding lead paint hazards, window repairs, and the need for bathroom ventilation, following a history of similar concerns dating back to 2017. Notable recent issues include multiple sewer backup incidents in December 2023, a leaking bathroom ceiling reported in July 2023, and recurring trash accumulation problems documented in multiple tenant complaints between 2022 and 2023.

Historical maintenance work includes a 2012 street space repair and various interior improvements from the late 1990s, such as a master suite addition and stairway modifications. The building's violation and complaint history suggests persistent habitability concerns, including heating system failures (2016), water damage (2017), and pest problems (2012). Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing issues with general cleanliness and sewage systems.

Former complaints highlighted concerns about illegal units, structural deterioration, and inadequate property maintenance. While some older violations have been resolved, including a 2011 wet carpet issue and a 2012 mold problem, the property continues to exhibit significant maintenance challenges as of 2023. The building's fire safety record shows one smoke detector activation incident with no fire or injuries recorded.
