Augrented Insights Report

The 17-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3500 Market Street, built in 1961 and currently owned by Maureen Wong Chen Survivors, has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly in fire safety systems. In 2023-2024, major fire alarm system upgrades were implemented, including the installation of horn strobes and low-frequency sounders to meet current safety standards, with the most recent modification being issued in October 2024.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent tenant complaints have raised concerns about maintenance issues, including plumbing problems (notably a clogged kitchen sink in 2024), insufficient heating, and various interior maintenance needs.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety-related issues, with multiple violations and complaints regarding alarm systems and fire extinguishers recorded between 2018 and 2024, though most recent violations appear to be promptly addressed or corrected. Historical improvements to individual units have included kitchen and bathroom remodels in apartments 203 and 204 (2022), and the building has maintained its basic systems through various repairs and upgrades, including roof maintenance (2023) and compliance with inspection requirements. The property has a history of addressing violations in a timely manner, with most issues being resolved within weeks or months of being reported, though some recent building violations related to interior surfaces and fire safety requirements remain active as of October 2023.
