Augrented Insights Report

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 551-555 Duboce Avenue, built in 1906, has undergone significant safety and modernization improvements, particularly in recent years. The property completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit program requirements and received its Certificate of Final Completion.

Recent major upgrades include a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement in 2023 to comply with current fire code requirements, the installation of new sprinklers throughout the ground floor, and the addition of an ADU in the basement. The building has experienced recurring fire alarm system issues, with violations noted in 2024, 2021, and 2018, though most were promptly corrected.

Historical concerns included a 2016 mold complaint, 2014 lead paint handling issues, and various fire safety violations in the early 2000s, all of which have been addressed. The property underwent substantial improvements between 2016-2024, including unit renovations, electrical updates, and infrastructure upgrades, with the most recent work focusing on fire safety compliance and ADU construction. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance and parking issues, though these are generally typical for the area and not directly related to building safety or habitability.
