Augrented Insights Report

The property at 17 Ottawa Ave is a two-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in the Outer Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Arthur N. Escalona.

The building has undergone several significant improvements and modifications over the past decades, most notably the legalization of a basement unit in 2016, which included the installation of a bedroom, study room, bathroom, and kitchen, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $70,000. The building has maintained basic safety infrastructure, with voluntary foundation retrofitting completed in 1997 and reroofing work in 1999, though both permits are now expired. Recent months have seen a cluster of maintenance and safety-related issues, particularly in early 2025, with multiple reports of parking violations on the sidewalk, garbage and debris concerns, and one open complaint regarding a damaged tree.

The building has experienced three fire alarm incidents since 2014, with the most recent in February 2021, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. Historical plumbing work has included kitchen and bathroom legalizations (2016), foundation work, and water service upgrades in 2008. The property has been involved in multiple tenant buyouts in the surrounding area, with the most recent occurring in June 2024 for $8,500 affecting one tenant, and a significant buyout of $60,000 in October 2018 for two tenants at a nearby address.
