Augrented Insights Report

The 24-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1640 Kirkham St, constructed in 1929, has undergone significant recent improvements, including a fire alarm upgrade to meet current fire marshal codes in October 2023, and substantial renovation work in Unit 12 in June 2024 comprising electrical upgrades and kitchen/bathroom remodeling costing $72,000. The building successfully completed its mandatory Tier 2 soft story retrofit in 2016, demonstrating improved seismic safety. Recent maintenance work has included reroofing in 2023 and the replacement of a steam boiler in 2022.

The property has experienced several maintenance challenges and resident complaints over the past decade. Notable issues include plumbing problems in 2021 (multiple water leaks), a 2022 complaint about an unauthorized exterior light installation, and a 2014 leak affecting multiple units. There are open fire violations from October 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements that require permit correction.

While the building has undergone numerous unit renovations (Units 1, 4, 6, 12, and 18 have received updates), some historical violations from 2002-2004 relating to handrails, fire escapes, and smoke detectors were noted but have since been resolved. Recent 311 calls primarily concern street cleaning issues, including multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris in 2024, while earlier reports indicated problems with garbage and debris management. The building's electrical and fire safety systems have received regular attention, with multiple fire alarm system corrections noted between 2008 and 2024, indicating ongoing maintenance of life safety systems.
