Augrented Insights Report

The 85 14th Street property is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1914 and currently owned by the Mak Family Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, most notably a recurrent problem with basement sewage backups, with multiple complaints filed between 2018 and 2022, including incidents in November 2021 that involved flooding of raw sewage.

The building is currently listed as non-compliant with San Francisco's soft-story retrofit requirements (Tier 4), with the most recent permit issued in July 2023 for work previously approved in 2019 to address this critical structural issue. The property has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire alarm system issues and extinguisher violations recorded between 2018 and 2024. A particularly concerning series of complaints in August 2018 involved multiple fire safety violations including blocked exits, combustible materials, and problems with various safety systems such as sprinklers and electrical.

More recent fire-related incidents have primarily involved alarm system activations without actual fires. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including stairway repairs in 2017 and exterior siding repairs in 2012, though many of these issues appear to have been resolved. While there have been numerous complaints and violations, it's worth noting that many were addressed and marked as "not active," suggesting building management has taken steps to remedy these issues, though some critical safety compliance matters remain outstanding.
