Augrented Insights Report

The property at 1026-1028 Potrero Avenue is a two-unit, two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing both residential and commercial spaces. Recent significant issues include lead paint concerns that emerged in June 2023, which were addressed by the end of July 2023, and a vacant storefront complaint from July 2022.

In 2011, there were documented heating and hot water issues affecting the upstairs unit, though these were reportedly resolved within a few days. The building has undergone several repairs and maintenance work over the years, including siding repairs in 2019 ($4,000) and rear stair reconstruction in 2006 ($2,000), demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts by the current ownership. The property has experienced multiple code compliance issues, particularly in 2005-2006, when there were several violations related to building permits, plumbing, electrical systems, and security requirements, including complaints about inadequate heating and security features which were subsequently addressed.

More recent maintenance concerns have primarily focused on exterior issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding graffiti and street cleaning, including a current open case regarding human waste or urine from January 2025. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations and completing required repairs, though there have been recurring issues with exterior maintenance and environmental factors on the surrounding property. The most recent lead paint incident in 2023, while promptly addressed, indicates that some older building materials may still require ongoing monitoring and maintenance.
