Augrented Insights Report

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1932-1938 Ellis Street in the Western Addition was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Richen Family Trust. The property has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years, with the most recent occurring in March 2018.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in May 2007, including issues with plumbing permits, garbage room ventilation, egress obstructions, handrail repairs, and water heaters; all of these violations were abated by July 10, 2007, along with a 2010 violation regarding missing fire extinguishers. The building has experienced some maintenance work, including roofing in 1994 and hot water heater replacement in 2007. The property has had multiple fire alarm incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, with most being due to system malfunctions or false alarms.

More recent maintenance signs include three 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking violations and debris, and a 2013 sewer vent issue. A tree-related sidewalk maintenance notification was recorded in 2019, indicating ongoing urban forestry management in the vicinity. The building's violation and inspection history suggest that previous safety and maintenance issues were addressed, though the frequency of routine inspections and violation notices indicates regular monitoring of building conditions over the years.
