679-685 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 679-685 Francisco Street is a three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1909, this tier 3 soft-story building has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, with the most recent seismic upgrades completed in 2016 costing $35,000 to comply with SFBC Chapter 34B and FEMA requirements.

The building has received consistent maintenance attention, including multiple roofing projects (2012 and 2014), partial voluntary seismic strengthening work in 2012, and interior renovations in 2001 that encompassed kitchen and bathroom updates. The building's historical records show a pattern of proactive maintenance and compliance with safety standards, including the removal of unnecessary wireless antennas in 2014 to comply with PNOE 12233.

While there have been some building complaints in the past, such as paint issues in 2004 and dry-rotted staircase concerns in 1996, these have all been resolved and the building has maintained an active status following routine inspections in 2004, 2006, and 2007. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external matters such as street cleaning and parking issues, with the most recent building-related complaint being from August 2023. The property has demonstrated compliance with current seismic safety requirements, having completed the necessary soft-story retrofit work and obtained a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).
