67 Fresno St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, nine-unit multi-family residential building at 67 Fresno Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by San Francisco Bay Area Prop, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in 2024, the building has experienced concerning issues with resident comfort and safety, including reports of no heat and rodent problems in June 2024, along with multiple fire safety violations related to extinguishers and sprinkler systems, with the most recent violations issued in May and February 2024.

The building underwent a seismic retrofit in 2017 to comply with San Francisco building codes, representing a significant structural improvement. Recent unit upgrades have included bathroom remodels in Units 2 (2024) and 7 (2022), with corresponding plumbing and electrical work showing ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts. Historical records indicate past challenges with building safety and habitability, including violations in 2000 regarding security and fire safety, and notable issues in 2005 concerning an unauthorized basement unit with multiple safety concerns that was ultimately reverted to its legal use.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both routine upkeep and necessary repairs, including sewer repairs in 2010 and foundation work proposed in 2008 (though this permit expired). Recent 311 calls from late 2024 and early 2025 indicate ongoing concerns about exterior maintenance, with multiple reports of garbage and debris, though many of these cases were resolved or determined not to require work. The building is classified as a Tier 3 Soft Story property, and while the seismic retrofit work is complete, there remain concerns about fire safety systems that require attention.
