Augrented Insights Report

The 12-unit apartment building at 400 Locust Street in Presidio Heights, owned by Sambado A T Apartment Trust, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in late 2023, the building received a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices. The property completed its required soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017, installing moment frames and shearwalls to comply with San Francisco Building Code requirements.

The building has experienced some safety-related issues in recent years, particularly in 2019 when multiple citations were issued regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and fire safety systems, though many of these violations were abated by December 2019. While there were fire safety complaints in 2021 and 2022 regarding combustible materials and sprinkler systems, these were either corrected or found to have no merit. The building's electrical systems have received attention as well, with a 2021 project replacing fuse sub-panels with breaker sub-panels in 10 apartments. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved building systems and safety elements, including a current active violation concerning a garbage chute repair.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance and cleanliness issues on the exterior, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and sidewalk maintenance, though these appear to be promptly addressed by city services. The building's maintenance record shows attention to major systems, including a roof replacement in 2006 and window upgrades in 1993. Routine inspections have been conducted over the years, with most issues being resolved promptly. The property's fire alarm system appears to be functioning reliably, with no fire incidents recorded, though there have been several alarm system activations noted, which were confirmed as unintentional or due to malfunction.
