Augrented Insights Report

The two-unit residential building at 78 Caine Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood, owned by Luis E Romero, is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The building's maintenance history shows some significant repair work, including a reroofing project in 2010 that cost $8,000, along with the installation of new plywood. A heating and lighting complaint was filed in January 2019, though its resolution status is not clear from the available data.

The building underwent two fire-related inspections, one in July 2007 for hazardous materials and another in May 2012 for weeds and grass, both of which were resolved with conditions corrected. The most recent records from late 2024 show numerous parking-related issues near the property, with several citations issued between November and December 2024 for illegal parking and sidewalk violations. There have also been complaints about garbage and debris in December 2024, though no action was deemed necessary by authorities.

A noise complaint regarding amplified sound was reported in December 2024 and remains open. The property has experienced some utility-related interactions, including a resolved billing inquiry with the Public Utilities Commission in December 2024. While the building has had some maintenance and compliance issues over the years, the most pressing recent concerns appear to be related to parking violations and noise rather than structural or safety issues.
