764-770 Commercial St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The three-story multi-family residential building at 764-770 Commercial Street, owned by the Chinese Consol Benev Assn, was constructed in 1907 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant structural improvements, most notably a seismic retrofit in 2000 costing $72,000 to comply with San Francisco's earthquake hazard reduction ordinance, and relocation of a moment-frame on the front wall in 2001.

In recent years, the building has focused on ADA compliance, with work in late 2022 involving new doorbell systems, signage, and hardware improvements totaling $3,000. A fire escape issue was reported and corrected in November 2016, and there was a complaint in 2002 regarding unauthorized door replacements, though this was promptly addressed. The building's immediate vicinity has experienced ongoing challenges, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and sidewalk cleanliness issues, as well as a missing side sewer vent cover reported in November 2024.

These maintenance issues have been consistently addressed and resolved by city services. Historical records show the building underwent significant structural improvements in the early 2000s, including a substantial seismic retrofit, while more recent modifications have focused on accessibility improvements. A planning record indicates there was an incident involving work beyond the scope of permit regarding the removal of the original storefront, though this was ultimately abated.
