17 Osgood Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

17 Osgood Place is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently featuring two units and owned by the Fain Shapiro Family Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced various compliance issues over the years. The most recent major modifications occurred between 2021 and 2023, including fire code violations related to blocked exits, shared spaces, and extinguishers, with multiple violations issued in 2023-2024.

A substantial renovation project was proposed in 2019 to build a rear single-family residence and convert ground floor commercial space into residential units, though this permit was withdrawn. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, with the most concerning issues occurring recently between 2022-2024, including multiple fire code violations and three open fire violations as of October 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, blocked exits, and expired permits. Historical records show various improvements and repairs, including seismic upgrades completed in 1998, roof repairs in 1992, and parapet wall reinforcement in 1989.

The property has experienced several fire system activations, primarily for false alarms or detector activations with no fire involvement, suggesting regular maintenance of safety systems despite ongoing compliance issues. Recent 311 calls (between November 2024 and January 2025) indicate various sidewalk blockage and parking enforcement issues, as well as instances of garbage and debris requiring municipal intervention. The building's history includes one building violation from 2010 regarding expired seismic upgrade permits, which was eventually abated in 2011. While the property has undergone significant renovations and repairs over the years, the most pressing concerns appear to be the recent fire safety violations and compliance issues that have emerged since 2021, which constitute the majority of the building's documented complaints and violations in recent years.
