31 Alta St, San Francisco, CA 94133

31 Alta Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood, owned by the Willmore Family Trust and constructed in 1900. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years, including a seismic repair and reinforcement of balconies in 2004 ($30,000), dry-rot repairs to the rear deck in 2018 ($5,000), and a significant electrical service upgrade from 100amp to 200amp in 2005.

The building's balcony and deck areas have required ongoing maintenance attention, with multiple permits issued for repairs and improvements to address safety concerns, including upgrades to meet current code standards. The property has experienced several compliance and safety issues over the years, particularly related to water drainage and construction modifications. A notable sequence of violations occurred in 2008-2009 regarding drainage issues, with multiple complaints about improper stormwater management from the driveway, roof, and balconies, which were eventually abated by 2012.

There were also concerns about unauthorized construction modifications during this period, including issues with a fraudulent curb cut installation, though these complaints were addressed through proper channels. More recent history shows a pattern of parking-related issues, with multiple citations issued in 2023 for vehicles blocking driveways, suggesting ongoing concerns about access and parking management in the area. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural integrity and safety systems, though periods of non-compliance regarding construction and modification permits are evident in the records.
