50 Alta St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 50 Alta Street, owned by Alta Street Investments I L, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1955. Most recently, in 2023-2024, the property completed various unit renovations including washer/dryer installations in Units 1 and 3, window replacements, and deck repairs.

The building has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades, including a complete fire alarm system retrofit in 2022, electrical panel upgrades, and plumbing improvements such as the removal of an old gas boiler system and replacement of damaged sewer pipes in 2023. The property achieved compliance with San Francisco's mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) status, though there were previous complaints about non-compliance in 2019. Recent building activity has included some resident concerns, with active complaints in 2023 regarding construction work scope and debris management, though many historical complaints related to boiler permit issues and illegal usage of units have since been resolved.

The building underwent multiple unit renovations between 2018-2023, including complete overhauls of Units 1, 3, 5, and 6, with work involving interior partitions, kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and electrical rewiring. Several maintenance and safety improvements have been implemented, such as deck repairs, fire safety upgrades, and security enhancements including the installation of a steel gate at the building entrance. The property has also experienced periodic plumbing issues, with multiple sewer-related service requests in 2015, though these appear to have been resolved through subsequent infrastructure improvements.
