Augrented Insights Report

4740 Balboa Street is a 4-story, 35-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by 4740 Balboa Street LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, including a completed $19,000 installation of low-frequency horns in sleeping areas in 2024, comprehensive unit remodels in 2019-2020 (Units 302, 402, 503, and 304), exterior siding replacement on the west elevation in 2019, and major electrical system upgrades in 2018 including the installation of a 400-amp service with 38 meters. The building's safety systems have been a recurring focus, with recent violations in 2023-2024 related to alarm systems and fire extinguishers, though these issues were subsequently addressed or abated.

The property completed its soft story retrofit requirements and has maintained compliance with building codes. Historical building complaints from 2001-2017 included various interior maintenance and safety issues, such as ventilation problems, floor covering repairs, and plumbing violations, all of which were abated. More recent complaints from 2018 and 2020 raised concerns about construction practices, including dust containment and debris disposal, though these issues were addressed through inspections.

The building has experienced periodic issues with garbage and debris in the surrounding area, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in 2024, though these appear to be primarily related to street maintenance rather than building management. A tenant buyout record from 2019 shows a payment of $12,000 to one tenant. Recent improvements include the installation of 35 low-frequency horns in 2023 and consistent upgrades to individual units, suggesting ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts by current ownership.
