Augrented Insights Report

The 4-unit residential building at 491-497 Alvarado Street in Noe Valley, owned by Silverman Govan Tr, was constructed in 1925 and is classified as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several maintenance activities over the years, including a roofing project in 1992 and some street space-related work in 2015.

A significant cluster of building violations was documented in January 2001, including multiple fire safety issues (such as garbage receptacle placement, egress obstructions, and storage of combustible materials), security concerns (like exterior door self-closing devices), and gas utility requirements, all of which were abated by January 24, 2001. The building has been subject to routine apartment house inspections in 1996, 2000, 2001, and 2007, with all issues being resolved. Recent activity around the property has been primarily related to parking enforcement, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and driveway blocking incidents between 2021 and 2024, all of which were resolved through citations or vehicle removals.

There were also two documented sidewalk defect reports in 2021 and 2022 regarding lifted sidewalk conditions. The building's safety systems appear to be generally functional, with records of only two fire department responses: one for a smoke detector malfunction and another for medical assistance, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The property has maintained compliance with various housing codes since the resolution of the 2001 violations, with no active building violations on record.
