Augrented Insights Report

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 783 Buena Vista Ave, owned by Jan Chernoff & Isabel Wade, has undergone significant renovations since mid-2019, including major seismic strengthening work costing $75,000, demolition and reconstruction of the rear facade, and comprehensive remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms on both floors. The 2019-2020 renovation phase included substantial electrical upgrades, including a complete rewiring of both floors with new lighting, circuits, and safety features, as well as plumbing improvements throughout the building, with permits showing completion of multiple bathroom and kitchen trim-outs.

A solar PV installation was completed earlier in 2014, featuring 20 roof-mounted panels. During the 2019-2020 renovation period, there were multiple complaints filed regarding construction activities, particularly in April-May 2020, with concerns about non-essential work continuing during shelter-in-place orders, noise, worker safety, and a reported incident involving an unrestrained dog.

While most of these complaints were marked as "Not Active," there remains one active complaint from May 2019 regarding work without proper permits. The building permits and inspection records show extensive permitted work, including street space usage in 2019-2020, suggesting proper channels were followed for most construction activities. The property has maintained compliance with building codes through these improvements, as evidenced by the completion status of various permits and subsequent inspections.
