Augrented Insights Report

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1230-1232 Cortland Avenue in Bernal Heights, built in 1928, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various compliance issues over the past few years. In 2021-2022, substantial improvements were made including a kitchen and bathroom remodel, electrical system upgrades (200-amp service), and the conversion from gas to electric water heating, though these modifications were preceded by a March 2021 notice of violation regarding unpermitted work in the rear yard.

The property has maintained active upkeep of its systems, including recent plumbing and electrical work completed in May 2024 related to water heating and ventilation systems. Historical records show the building has experienced notable events including a fire incident in 1985, a main sewer line replacement in 2009, and various routine inspections revealing safety compliance issues that were subsequently resolved, such as the installation of smoke detectors and proper fire extinguisher maintenance in 2001.

More recent concerns include two complaints: one in 2023 regarding late-night construction noise in a ground-floor unit, and another in 2021 about alleged unauthorized commercial activity and permit violations in the rear yard area. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, including sidewalk repairs (2002), and the property has been subject to periodic inspections by Housing Inspection Services from 1999 to 2008, all of which were resolved. Recent service requests from 2020-2024 primarily relate to external maintenance issues such as street cleaning, sidewalk repair, and tree maintenance, reflecting standard urban property maintenance needs.
