Augrented Insights Report

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 816 Ashbury St in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, owned by Steve & Irma Asti It Llc, was constructed in 1928 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two decades. Most notably, the building is currently classified as a Tier 3 soft-story non-compliant property, with an active complaint from 2019 regarding failure to comply with soft-story Tier III requirements. While a $120,000 soft-story retrofit permit was issued in 2017, the building remains non-compliant as of 2023.

Recent maintenance concerns have included multiple issues with the laundry room in 2020, where tenants reported problems with water leakage, electrical safety concerns, and unaddressed maintenance issues, particularly affecting the older tenant population. The building has a history of interior maintenance violations, including issues with ceilings, walls, mold, and fire escape systems, with many of these violations dating back to 2000-2004. More recent building improvements include electrical work in 2022 related to seismic upgrades and garage rewiring.

The property has undergone various maintenance and safety-related updates, including reroofing in 1997 and dry rot repairs in 1983, but several past complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. There have been recurring issues with fire alarm systems, with multiple complaints from 2018-2019 all indicated as "Condition Corrected." Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 show concerns primarily related to parking, noise, and sidewalk maintenance, with some open cases regarding excessive noise in July 2024. The building's historical record shows a pattern of requiring various routine inspections and addressing multiple housing code violations over time. The most recent building-related incidents have primarily involved service requests and maintenance matters rather than serious safety concerns, though the outstanding Tier 3 soft-story non-compliance status is significant.
