Augrented Insights Report

The Artal Family LP owns this two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located at 525 Duncan Street in Noe Valley, which was constructed in 1965. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced notable challenges in recent years.

Most recently, in 2020, there was a substantial renovation project for unit #02 encompassing bathroom and kitchen remodeling, including new fixtures, cabinets, and electrical work with new wiring, outlets, and appliances, costing approximately $30,000. This project was properly permitted and followed by necessary plumbing and electrical permits, though it generated some tenant complaints due to unexpected noise, dust, and lack of communication about the work. The building's infrastructure improvements include window and sliding door replacements with dry rot repairs in late 2020 and an underground electrical service conversion with four meters completed in 2006.

However, the property has experienced several persistent maintenance issues, as evidenced by an active building complaint from August 2020 regarding unauthorized work and tenant inconvenience, along with a report from the same month documenting multiple problems including a non-functioning sliding door, rodent issues, water leaks, and structural concerns. Historical records show a roofing project from 1995, and routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2008, though specific findings from these inspections are not detailed in the available data. The most recent record is from September 2023, relating to external cleaning issues that were promptly resolved by the Department of Public Works.
