1308 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1308 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, built in 1959, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most recently, in October 2024, there were emergency bathroom repairs in Unit 101 to address water damage, along with installation of a new fire alarm system with low-frequency horns throughout the building, representing compliance with updated safety requirements. A notable recent incident involved a complaint about mold, leaking pipes, and contractor disturbances in October 2024, which was still being addressed as of late 2024.

The building completed important seismic upgrades as a Tier 3 soft-story property in 2014, and previously addressed various safety concerns including the removal of unauthorized towerstream antennas in 2014. Historical records show recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2011-2013, including problems with plumbing fixtures, windows, and appliances, as well as multiple code violations related to safety systems and fire hazards. While these violations were ultimately abated, they indicate a pattern of maintenance challenges.

The building has maintained its structural integrity through various major works including reroofing projects in 1998 and 2012, and completed Fire Life Safety System upgrades in 2024. Regular inspections and permits suggest ongoing attention to building maintenance, though recent complaints about mold and water damage indicate that some issues persist. The property also experienced several unintentional fire alarm activations, though no actual fires or civilian injuries were recorded. Recent maintenance efforts, particularly the 2024 fire safety improvements and bathroom repairs, suggest active management response to building conditions and regulatory requirements.
