Augrented Insights Report

The three-story, 24-unit apartment building at 1241 Funston Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Essex Portfolio Lp, has undergone significant renovations and faced recurring infrastructure challenges since its construction in 1959. The building has seen multiple unit renovations, including recent work in 2022 (Unit E208) involving kitchen and bathroom upgrades with washer/dryer installations, as well as extensive fire alarm system upgrades in 2021 featuring new intelligent components throughout the building. Notably concerning is the building's persistent elevator issues, with multiple complaints and emergency service calls in 2024 regarding malfunctions, including instances requiring fire department assistance for wheelchair-bound residents.

A recent complaint from August 2024 highlights that the elevator has been non-functional for approximately four weeks, severely impacting disabled residents' access. The building has a history of fire safety system entries, with several "Alarm Systems" complaints between 2006-2024, though most were found to have "No Merit" or were promptly corrected. Infrastructure maintenance has been a recurring theme, with multiple unit upgrades performed in recent years, including furnace replacements for several units in 2018. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to modernizing individual units while addressing building-wide systems, including multiple electrical and plumbing upgrades.

A pattern of complaints related to mold (2016, 2017, 2018), bathroom issues, and various maintenance needs has emerged through the building's history. The property successfully completed a major fire alarm system upgrade in 2021, enhancing safety features throughout the building. Recent complaints in 2023 regarding a negative air flow device in the gym and building-generated power sources have raised concerns about air quality and safety. The building's management has generally addressed most violations and complaints, though some issues, particularly with the elevator system, appear to be recurring problems impacting resident accessibility and safety.
