Augrented Insights Report

257 14th Avenue, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Fairweather Enterprises LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Tier 3 soft-story seismic retrofit (CFC issued) in 2020, including a $75,000 retrofit from 2016.

Recent major improvements include a comprehensive electrical upgrade in January 2024, replacing the federal pacific 400-amp main breaker assembly and multiple sub-panels with Siemens equipment, and the installation of Ufer grounding in 2017. The building has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues requiring attention over the years. A significant water damage incident occurred in early 2024, with tenant reports of lingering water damage and potential mold concerns in a bathroom ceiling.

Previous complaints include plumbing issues with wastewater backup in 2019, rodent problems in 2020, and a failure to complete mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work that was eventually resolved in 2020. The property has been subject to various building violations, primarily in 2001, related to fire safety systems, security requirements, and combustible storage, all of which were abated by June 2001. More recent concerns have been documented as of October 2024 regarding unpermitted construction work and foundation issues. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to compliance requirements, though some repairs, particularly regarding water damage and pest control, have faced delays in resolution.
