1031 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 15-unit multi-family residential building at 1031 Leavenworth Street, owned by Devpac LLC, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 (Tier 2) at a cost of $250,000, demonstrating compliance with earthquake safety requirements.

Recent improvements include comprehensive unit renovations in Units #2, #9, and #12 between 2022 and 2024, each involving kitchen and bathroom updates with new fixtures, tiles, and plumbing work, with the most recent renovation (February 2024) including both kitchen and bathroom updates with a new subpanel. The building has maintained its infrastructure with several important upgrades, including a water main replacement in 2021, backflow device installation in 2016, and the installation of a new cast iron boiler in 2013. The property has faced various maintenance and safety issues over its history, including routine violations in 2009 and 2017 related to interior surfaces, paint conditions, and fire safety requirements, though all these issues were eventually abated.

Recent fire system concerns include a July 2024 violation regarding sleeping area requirements, which appears to be an ongoing issue. The building's parking situation has generated multiple enforcement actions, with several citations issued for blocked driveways in recent months (2023-2024). Additionally, there have been periodic complaints regarding illegal short-term rentals, though these were ultimately found to have "No Violation." The property's maintenance record shows regular upgrades to individual units, particularly focusing on modernizing kitchens and bathrooms, while also addressing essential systems like electrical, plumbing, and fire safety requirements, though some permits have expired and require follow-up, such as the 2021 water main and 2023 Unit #9 plumbing permits.
