Augrented Insights Report

The three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 4005 California St, built in 1923 and owned by Sf Multifamily 1 Llc, has undergone significant renovations and improvements in recent years, particularly in 2020-2021. The property converted former garage spaces into four additional dwelling units (13-16) and completed comprehensive unit renovations including new bathrooms, kitchens, and appliances in units 2, 3, 6, and 10, with costs ranging from $85,000 to $120,000 per unit. Major infrastructure upgrades include the installation of a hydronic hot water fan coil system for units 13-16 in 2023, a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2023, and comprehensive fire safety improvements including the installation of 45 ground floor sprinklers and a new fire alarm system in 2020.

The building has achieved soft-story compliance with completed work and received its CFC certification. More recent tenant complaints from 2022-2023 have raised concerns about building maintenance and systems, including recurring issues with a clogged trash chute leading to reports of pests, intermittent water leaks, and temporary construction-related disruptions. Three tenant buyouts totaling $175,145 were recorded between 2019-2020, suggesting some unit turnover during the renovation period.

The building has experienced three fire-related incidents since 2020, including two false alarms and one carbon monoxide detector activation, with no reported civilian injuries. Historical violations from 2019 related to water damage, lead paint hazards, and fire escape maintenance were addressed and abated by July 2019. The most recent construction-related complaint filed in July 2023 cited ongoing noise and dust issues, though this appears to be a single recent incident compared to the extensive renovation work completed earlier.
