1848 Stockton St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1848 Stockton Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Susan Lee Colby, has a notable history of seismic and fire safety improvements. Built in 1907, this apartment building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) at a cost of $43,500, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

More recently, in March 2021, the building experienced fire damage on the top floor, affecting approximately 150 square feet of space with damaged plaster and some framing, though it was reported that no structural components were affected and there were no occupants in the impacted unit at the time. The fire incident led to complaints from tenants about residual odors and health concerns, though the alarm systems were ultimately found to have "No Merit" upon investigation. The building's maintenance history includes several significant upgrades, such as a complete reroofing in 2015 ($7,880) and a major electrical system upgrade in 2008 featuring new 200-amp service with six meter sockets and breaker panels.

Between 2005 and 2008, the property underwent various housing inspections that revealed multiple fire safety concerns, including issues with fire escape access, smoke detectors, and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were subsequently addressed and abated. Various street space permits were issued between 2018-2019, possibly related to exterior work or maintenance activities. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to parking issues and street cleaning needs, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management.
