1461 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1461 California Street, constructed in 1907 and owned by Del-camp Investments, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance issues over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2017 and has addressed multiple fire safety concerns, including a recent 2023 fire alarm system upgrade (cost: $41,205) to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements.

The building has demonstrated ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts, including the replacement of kitchen cabinets and windows in 2009, plumbing updates including sewer work in 2019, and various electrical system modifications and improvements. The property experienced a cluster of building violations in late 2017 related to fire safety and building permits, including issues with spark arrestors, carbon monoxide alarms, smoke alarms, and roof access doors, though all were abated by May 2018.

More recently, there were two complaints in 2018-2019 regarding construction work and noise, as well as some routine inspections. The building is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story property, and while all required seismic work has been completed, the building's location has been subject to recent environmental concerns, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 relating to garbage, debris, and encampments in the vicinity. All historical violations and complaints have been officially resolved, and the building's maintenance record shows regular updates to systems and features, particularly focusing on safety systems such as fire alarms and seismic compliance.
