Augrented Insights Report

The Kirkham Heights Apartments, located at 1530-1585 5th Avenue in Forest Knolls, is a 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1950, containing 86 units owned by Westlake Kirkham Heights LLC. The property has undergone numerous significant maintenance and compliance upgrades, most notably completing mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work (Tier 3) in 2017-2021 and addressing various violation notices. Recent improvements include extensive electrical system upgrades in 2023-2024, with multiple load center replacements, and plumbing enhancements including water heater installations and safety valve pipeline work in 2022-2024.

The building has experienced several maintenance issues requiring attention, including plumbing work performed without proper permits in 2020, multiple violations related to stair repairs and smoke detector requirements in 2019, and the installation of various safety features such as fences, handrails, and stucco repairs. The property has maintained a generally active response to building code requirements and tenant safety concerns, though some violations took time to resolve, with most being abated by 2021. Recent records show sprinkler system and sleeping area requirement violations in 2023-2024, though these were noted as having "No Merit" or were otherwise addressed.

The building's emergency response history shows primarily false alarms and system malfunctions, with no reported civilian injuries from fire incidents. Planning records indicate past proposals for redevelopment of the site, though current focus remains on maintaining and upgrading existing systems. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal, with some plumbing system maintenance issues noted in late 2024.
