40 Edith St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 40 Edith Street property is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, owned by William Edward and Georgia Lee. Originally built in 1953, this building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably seismic retrofitting completed in 2013 to address soft-story concerns, which received a Certificate of Final Completion.

The building has maintained a proactive approach to safety systems, including multiple fire alarm system upgrades (2012, 2016), and completed plumbing improvements such as a new house trap installation (2021) and shower valve replacement (2017). The building underwent a comprehensive safety inspection in 2005 that identified several issues including fire safety equipment, security features, and emergency exit concerns, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by August 2005. Recent maintenance and compliance history shows regular upkeep, including a sewer line replacement in 2009, while the most recent building permits indicate attention to infrastructure upgrades.

The property has experienced occasional resident concerns, including three noise complaints in 2016 and sidewalk access issues reported in 2017. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property since 2016, these primarily relate to street cleaning and parking enforcement matters not directly related to the building's condition. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep, with all identified violations being promptly addressed, and it currently holds an active Certificate of Final Completion for its seismic improvements under the Soft Story retrofit program.
