Augrented Insights Report

1085 South Van Ness Avenue is a three-story, 30-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations and expansions in recent years, most notably the approved addition of six new units on the first level in 2020, converting the existing garage space into new living quarters with accompanying facilities, including fourteen new bedrooms and ten bathrooms. The building has seen extensive unit renovations across multiple floors, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, bedroom conversions, and the installation of modern amenities such as washers/dryers and dishwashers in various units between 2019 and 2020, totaling renovation costs exceeding $1 million.

The building has maintained an active maintenance and compliance record, with recent fire safety violations issued in late 2024 regarding alarm systems and sleeping area requirements that are still pending resolution. Historical records show some concerns in 2016 regarding potential mold issues and unpermitted work, though these complaints are no longer active. The property has completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements, achieving Tier 2 status with certification.

Regular inspections and permits indicate ongoing attention to building systems, with recent work focusing on updating electrical systems, sprinkler systems, and general building maintenance. The building's history includes routine inspections and licensing compliance checks, with most historical violations being promptly addressed and resolved, particularly those related to fire safety systems, which are now actively maintained. While there have been occasional complaints about building systems and common area maintenance, these remain relatively few compared to the extensive renovation work and compliance efforts undertaken by management.
