Augrented Insights Report

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 694-698 Precita Ave in Bernal Heights was constructed in 1910 and currently owned by William Chang. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly with its stairs and decks, as evidenced by multiple repair permits between 1997 and 2011, including significant work in 2005 and 2011 to address problems with rear exterior stairs and handrails.

A concerning pattern of violations emerged in 2006, when multiple issues were documented including lead paint concerns, mold/mildew on walls, plumbing problems, and ventilation issues, though these were abated by October 2006. More recent significant events include a series of active complaints from 2023-2024 regarding water intrusion, possible illegal unit use, and issues with exterior steps.

The building underwent a live/work unit legalization process in 1992, converting a commercial space within the building. Recent maintenance history shows attention to gas systems (with a test conducted in 2010), though there were some concerning incidents in 2011 including multiple violations related to water damage, mold, and lack of utilities, which took until 2012 to fully resolve. The property also had fire safety inspections in 2020 that required corrections for combustible materials, and there have been several 311 calls in late 2024 related to flooding, garbage, and debris issues.
