Augrented Insights Report

The 15-unit, 5-story apartment building at 261 Octavia Street, owned by Octavia Court Inc, was constructed in 2011 as a low-income residential facility for developmentally disabled individuals. The building has a comprehensive fire safety system installed, including sprinklers throughout (completed in 2009), a full fire alarm system with various detection and notification devices (completed in 2010), and roof-mounted solar panels (completed in 2010).

Recent maintenance work includes a new metal fence and gate installation planned for 2024. The building has experienced several regulatory compliance issues, particularly concerning boiler permits and fire safety equipment, with the most recent violations occurring in 2023 related to compliance affidavits and boiler operation permits.

These issues have typically been addressed, with most violations being abated, though there are recurring concerns about fire safety equipment maintenance, including recent complaints in December 2024 about alarm systems and extinguishers. The property has shown ongoing attention to infrastructure maintenance, with a plumbing backflow replacement completed in 2018 and various 311 calls in 2024-2025 regarding sidewalk maintenance and debris removal, indicating active property management. Historical records show the building was developed with special considerations for low-income housing needs and includes features such as solar power generation.
