Augrented Insights Report

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 534-538 Page Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1906 and currently owned by John E Wai 1981 Lvg Tr -res, has undergone significant recent activity centered around major renovations and improvements. As of July 2024, there are approved permits for an $840,000 project including a new 695-square-foot exclusive roof deck and interior remodeling across all floors, along with reconfigurations of basement and first-floor units.

In May 2024, substantial plumbing and electrical work was completed or underway, including the installation of new furnaces for all units, complete plumbing overhauls, and new electrical systems with 150-amp service. The property has also faced multiple challenges, including several building complaints in 2022-2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy, safety concerns, and construction work compliance. Most notably, there is an active complaint from June 2024 regarding potential mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements.

Previous building violations from 2002 included security and safety issues such as door self-closing devices and handrail repairs, though these were abated by August 2002. The property has experienced periods of vacancy and construction delays, leading to concerns about unauthorized access and safety, particularly in 2024. Recent renovation work, while extensive, has also generated neighborhood complaints about construction hours and dust control, particularly during 2020.
