1614-1618 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1614-1618 Powell Street in North Beach, owned by George & Joanne Greco Revoc, was constructed in 1912 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, including a recent repair of dry rot in the back stairs completed in April 2024.

The building has been identified as a "soft-story" structure requiring seismic retrofitting, with multiple records showing filed permits and violations between 2018 and 2022 regarding non-compliance with the Mandatory Soft Story Program. Historical maintenance includes rear stair repairs in 1999, reroofing in 1998, and various sidewalk repairs, though some permits are listed as expired while others remain "filed." The building's maintenance history reveals several safety and habitability issues in the mid-2000s, including violations related to lead paint hazards, smoke detector deficiencies, and interior surface maintenance, all of which were abated by May 2006. More recent concerns include a 2024 complaint about potentially unpermitted work on the stairwell.

The property has been subject to routine housing inspections in 1999, 2001, 2005, and 2008, indicating regular oversight by housing authorities. While there have been some environmental maintenance issues (e.g., sidewalk cleaning, sewage backup), these appear to be typical urban challenges. The most recent building permit activity, regarding stair repair, suggests ongoing attention to structural maintenance, though the history of expired permits and past violations indicates a pattern of delayed compliance with certain maintenance requirements.
