Augrented Insights Report

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 855 Waller Street in Buena Vista Park, constructed in 1927, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance throughout its history, with particular attention to safety systems and unit modernization. Most notably, between 2017 and 2021, the building added three new units (10, 11, and 12) by converting existing garage spaces, while also implementing comprehensive fire safety upgrades including multiple fire alarm system improvements (2021 and 2018), installation of new sprinklers ($8,000), and furnace replacements.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofitting requirements as a Tier 3 property, receiving a Certificate of Final Completion. Recent building violations from September 2023 raised concerns about safety equipment maintenance, including fire escape ladder condition, fire extinguisher tags, and gas utility shutoff tools, though these issues are no longer active.

The property has experienced recurring fire alarm system activations and false alarms over the years, with the most recent fire complaint in 2021 regarding sprinkler systems being determined to have "No Merit." Multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as parking violations and sidewalk cleaning, rather than building maintenance concerns. The building has maintained compliance with major housing inspections, with routine violations in 2002 (now abated) mostly related to security and gas utility requirements.
