969 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 11-unit multi-family residential building at 969 Pine Street, owned by Alison Paige Goodman, has undergone significant changes since its construction in 1909, most notably the addition of two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in the upper and lower basement areas, completed in 2020. The building's seismic improvement project, initially causing considerable tenant disturbance between 2014-2019 with reports of extended construction and safety concerns, was eventually completed as a Tier 3 soft-story retrofit with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

The property has received numerous updates to its safety systems, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade, comprehensive rewiring work, and installation of modern fire safety features such as low frequency sounders, sprinklers, and alarm systems between 2018-2021, indicating a concerted effort to improve building safety infrastructure. Recent inspections and complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the building's common areas and system functionality, with the most recent common areas complaint filed in March 2024. The building has a history of fire safety violations from 2006, including issues with stairs, railings, exit obstruction, and improper door hardware, though these were subsequently corrected.

Multiple short-term rental violations were investigated in Unit 4, which were resolved through compliance measures. The property has experienced recurring street cleaning issues in 2024, with multiple reports of debris, though these are primarily external to the building itself. A consistent pattern of garbage and debris complaints has emerged from 2023 to 2024, indicating potential ongoing challenges with building maintenance and waste management in the surrounding area.
