1324-1330 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1324-1330 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, owned by the Woo Family Trust and built in 1910, has undergone numerous significant modifications and repairs over the past several years. Most recently, in 2024, the building has seen multiple active complaints regarding unauthorized renovation work in units 1324, 1326, 1328, and 1328A, involving kitchen and bathroom swaps with associated plumbing and electrical work, which reportedly caused building movement and generated uncontained debris.

These violations are currently active and relate to the building's non-compliance with mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements. The building's fire safety systems have received attention, with a completed fire alarm upgrade in 2024 costing over $36,000 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, following a cancelled permit for a similar upgrade earlier that year.

Other recent improvements include basement electrical service upgrades, water system improvements, and various unit renovations. Historical compliance issues include multiple violations in 2000 related to fire safety and gas system requirements, which have since been resolved. The building's soft-story status remains listed as non-compliant under Tier 3 requirements, indicating that required seismic retrofitting work is still outstanding, and there is an active complaint regarding changes to emergency egress that appears to conflict with code requirements.
