Augrented Insights Report

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1837 Oak Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Panhandle Oak Apts Lp, has undergone significant improvements and faced several challenges since its construction in 1904. Most notable are recent fire safety upgrades, including a 2023 fire alarm system replacement to meet 2022 SFFC standards and the installation of low-frequency horns, followed by similar fire safety improvements in 2019 that included new smoke detectors and monitoring modules. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 property, achieving work completion and receiving a Certificate of Final Completion in 2019.

Substantial interior improvements were made in 2018-2020, including the addition of two ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units), boiler relocation, and various unit remodels with corresponding electrical and plumbing upgrades. The building is currently facing multiple active Housing Inspection Notices of Violation (NOVs) from March 2021, related to fire safety equipment, energy code compliance, fire escape maintenance, carbon monoxide and smoke alarm requirements, fire proofing, sanitation issues, and more. These violations have a common theme of safety and maintenance requirements that were supposed to be addressed in October 2023.

While many major systems have been updated, including new furnaces, fire sprinkler system installation, and structural improvements with steel beam replacements, the presence of these active violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 predominantly relate to street cleaning issues outside the building, including reports of hazardous materials and waste, though these external matters are separate from the building's internal conditions. The property completed various significant improvements between 2015 and 2024, including backflow device replacement in 2024, multiple unit renovations, and comprehensive fire safety system upgrades, indicating ongoing investment in building systems and infrastructure.
