4-12 Beckett St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The four-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 4-12 Beckett Street, owned by 3re5 LLC, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years. Most notably, the building received seismic retrofitting in 1996 for earthquake hazard reduction, and comprehensive plumbing upgrades were performed in 2021-2022, including the installation of a tankless water heater, new fixtures in bathrooms and kitchens, and gas line improvements.

The building has had a recurring pattern of maintenance issues in recent years, with a cluster of violations noted in May 2022 during a routine inspection, including concerns about fire escape maintenance, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and various facility systems such as water heaters and electrical components. A concerning incident occurred in October 2021 when a resident reported complete electrical service loss, allegedly with claims of retaliatory power disconnection. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic infrastructure, including reroofing work in 2008 and previous years, though there have been periods requiring multiple permits for similar projects.

Fire safety compliance has been a recurring focus, with violations recorded in 2017 related to sprinkler and extinguisher service requirements, though these issues were marked as corrected or referred for hearing. The property has experienced occasional issues with building safety systems, as evidenced by electrical and water system complaints in recent years. While the building's management has generally responded to violations and completed necessary repairs, the pattern of multiple violations and complaints within relatively short timeframes suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining all building systems to current standards.
