280 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94111

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 280 Green St in Telegraph Hill, constructed in 1926, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance challenges over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit program (Tier 3) in 2018, resolving previous violations related to earthquake safety requirements. Recent major improvements include a $50,000 seismic retrofit completion in 2018, reroofing in 2011, and window replacements in 2008 that included energy-efficient vinyl-insulated windows.

The building has also received important safety upgrades, including the installation of a fire alarm system with detectors and horns in 2007, though some permits from 1998 regarding stair repairs and handrail installation are now expired. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the years, including building violations in 2012 regarding weatherproofing on window frames and lead paint concerns, though these were abated in 2013. In 2019, there was a complaint filed regarding failure to comply with Soft Story Tier III requirements, which was ultimately resolved by 2021.

The building underwent regular routine inspections in 2000, 2005, and 2010, which identified various issues such as smoke detector compliance and emergency exiting concerns, all of which were addressed. More recently, there have been several parking-related complaints near the property between 2021-2022, though these are not directly related to building conditions or safety. The building appears to be actively maintained, with all major compliance issues addressed according to available records, and the most recent soft story compliance status shows work is complete with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.
