28-38 Bob Kaufman Aly, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 28-38 Bob Kaufman Alley in Telegraph Hill, owned by Bob Kaufman Alley LLC, was constructed in 1915 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades to enhance safety and living conditions.

Most notably, in 2015, a $20,000 soft-story retrofit was completed, including the installation of new shear walls, with a Certificate of Final Completion issued under the Tier 3 program. Other substantial renovations include a complete reroofing project in 2012 (cost: $10,000), the installation of an electric car charger in 2013, and a kitchen renovation in 2010 that involved cabinet replacement and appliance repositioning (cost: $6,500), along with corresponding electrical and plumbing work. The building has experienced two recent complaints in 2023 regarding unsecured items on the roof, with reports of furniture and debris posing potential safety hazards during windy conditions.

However, all historical building violations from 2003-2006 were addressed and abated, including issues with stairs, window repairs, and smoke detector installations. The property has maintained regular maintenance schedules, with documented street space permits in 2010-2011, and has responded to various 311 calls regarding exterior and street conditions, most recently in 2022. The building's documented improvements and completed safety retrofits suggest ongoing attention to structural integrity and resident safety, though the recent roof-related complaints indicate an area warranting continued oversight.
