Augrented Insights Report

The two-unit residential building at 1225 Cortland Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Sigifredo Ruelas, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2022, the building received multiple violations that required attention to critical safety systems, including smoke and carbon monoxide detection, as well as problems with interior surfaces.

These violations, which included concerns about damaged friable insulation material, lead-based paint, water damage, and various plumbing and building issues, were officially abated by November 2022, though some related complaints from February 2020 regarding heat availability, emergency stairs, and bathroom mold remained active as of October 2023. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, with three separate complaints filed in February 2020 regarding illegal units and serious habitability concerns.

Earlier maintenance work on the building includes a completed electrical permit in 2005 for PG&E pipe attachment, and a roofing project in 1990, though the latter permit has since expired. The building has also been the subject of several 311 calls over the years, primarily related to street cleaning and graffiti issues on and around the property, with the most recent calls recorded in 2022 and 2020 respectively. While some improvements have been made, including the resolution of many violations by late 2022, the building's history suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that have required attention from housing inspection services.
