384-388 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 384-388 Vallejo Street property is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, containing 6 units and currently owned by Tidepool Investments LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 at a cost of $60,000, which addressed seismic safety concerns in compliance with San Francisco's Building Code requirements. Between 2008-2011, substantial renovations were completed on units 384, 386, and 388, including comprehensive electrical upgrades with new wiring installation, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and the replacement of three water heaters.

The electrical system received significant improvements with the installation of a new 200-amp main service and multiple subpanels. The building had several regulatory compliance matters that were properly addressed over time, including a routine housing inspection in 2005 which identified multiple fire safety issues that were resolved by August 2005, such as combustible storage removal and fire extinguisher maintenance. While there were initial challenges with the Soft Story Retrofit Program in 2014 and 2017, these were ultimately resolved with the completion of the retrofit work.

A 1999 incident involving unpermitted floor heater installation and carbon monoxide concerns was resolved within two weeks. The property has a clean record regarding serious safety issues, with no recorded civilian injuries from fire incidents, though there was one alarm system malfunction in 2016 that was promptly corrected. Recent activities at the property have primarily consisted of routine municipal matters, including multiple parking enforcement calls for abandoned vehicles and driveway blocking, as well as regular street cleaning and environmental maintenance requests, all of which indicate standard urban property management challenges rather than any building-specific issues. The building's systems appear to have been properly maintained and upgraded to current safety standards, with no active violations or complaints on file as of the most recent review in October 2023.
