77-81 Pleasant St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 77-81 Pleasant Street, owned by David Louis Alvarado, was constructed in 1907 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure with three stories. The property has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the past two decades, with particular attention required for the back stairs, which have been the subject of multiple repairs (2002, 2018) due to sporadic damage, costing between $3,500 to $15,000. The roof and roof deck have been recurring focus areas, with recent work in 2023 costing $20,000 to replace the roof deck in compliance with a Notice of Violation issued in December 2022, which had cited unauthorized reconstruction of a larger deck (approximately 14' x 23') with 6' tall posts.

This violation status was not fully abated until October 2024. The building has experienced several regulatory and safety issues over the years, particularly concerning fire safety and egress systems. Multiple fire complaints between 2006 and 2021 noted problems with alarm systems, blocked exits, and fire extinguishers, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected" upon re-inspection.

There were also concerns about egress obstructions and lack of a second means of egress, though these violations were not currently active as of October 2023. The property underwent a vertical addition in 1998-1999 and has had several routine inspections that resulted in various findings requiring attention. Recent tenant activity includes buyouts in 2022 for $55,000 and $3,000 for two tenants, with complaints in August 2023 regarding construction work and parking violations near the property. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic infrastructure, with reroofing work performed in 2022 and previously in 2005, along with ongoing monitoring of building code compliance through various permits and inspections.
