1050 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

1050 Columbus Avenue is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by 1050 Columbus Avenue LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced some challenges over the years. Most notably, in April 2015, there was a fire incident that affected units 101 and 201, requiring substantial rehabilitation work totaling approximately $126,000, including new insulation, sheetrock, kitchens, bathrooms, and comprehensive electrical and plumbing repairs.

The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $80,000, achieving Tier 3 compliance. Recent maintenance includes a completed sewer repair in January 2024 and furnace replacement for unit #102 in March 2023. The property has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations and complaints related to alarm systems and exit maintenance between 2016 and 2024, though all were marked as corrected or abated. Regular furnace replacements have been documented through the years (units 102, 104, 201, and 303).

The building underwent several significant improvements in 2004, including window retrofitting, roof replacement, and dry rot repairs. Recent external issues at the property have primarily involved parking enforcement matters, with multiple citations for driveway blocking recorded in late 2024. The most recent plumbing issue, a broken sewer complaint from January 2024, has also been resolved. Historical records show routine inspections and maintenance activities have generally been addressed appropriately, though there have been periods requiring particular attention to fire safety systems and building maintenance.
