1049-1053 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 1049-1053 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, constructed in 1912, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $49,000, which included structural reinforcements such as shear walls and foundation anchoring, achieving Tier 3 status with CFC issuance.

The property has undergone several important infrastructure updates, including the replacement of three water heaters in 2008 and window improvements (vinyl installation replacing wood) in 2003. The building has experienced some maintenance issues, including a 1996 complaint about unsafe roofing debris during reroofing work, and was subject to multiple routine safety inspections over the years. In early 2016, the building faced several violations related to safety requirements, including the need for carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguisher maintenance, self-closing doors, and security improvements, though these were all abated by June 2016.

During the period from 2023 to 2024, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the exterior of the property, primarily related to parking violations and street cleaning issues. The most recent service incidents include reports of illegal parking, sidewalk cleaning needs, and graffiti on the building from mid-2023. While these external issues have been documented, the building's interior safety systems have been brought into compliance with current regulations, as demonstrated by the completed soft-story retrofit and resolution of past safety violations.
