435 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 6-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 435 Green Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Donun & Lily T Chan Living, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various regulatory requirements since its construction in 1953. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic safety improvements as a Tier 3 Soft Story retrofit in 2019, following an $80,000 retrofit undertaken in 2017. Recent infrastructure improvements include a sewer replacement completed in 2021.

The building had a notable cluster of violations in 2006 related to fire safety and alarm systems, including issues with the central alarm system certification, fire escape maintenance, and combustible materials storage, though all were abated by April 2006. There have been two recent fire complaints, one regarding alarm systems in January 2021 (found to have no merit) and a more recent blocked exits complaint from December 2024 that is still pending resolution. The property has undergone various maintenance work over the years, including multiple roofing projects in 1995, and historical permits show earlier improvements such as greenhouse installation on the roof in 1987.

The building has been regularly inspected over the years, with routine inspections recorded in 2000, 2003, and 2006. While not directly impacting building safety, there have been multiple 311 calls about the surrounding area between 2008 and 2022, primarily related to street cleaning issues and occasional graffiti, with the most recent being a 2022 report of human or animal waste near the property. The building's most significant recent safety-related activity has been the completion of the seismic retrofit program, which is considered a major safety enhancement.
