35 Casa Way, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story multi-family residential building at 35 Casa Way, completed in 1928 and containing 9 units, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable challenges in recent years. Most recently, in April 2023, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade costing $36,300 to comply with current fire safety standards, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building experienced substantial water damage in late 2022, affecting multiple units (101, 103, 201, 203, and 303), which required emergency services and subsequent drywall replacement work costing $8,000. Prior to this incident, several units underwent kitchen renovations between 2021-2022, including units 101, 201, 202, and 302, with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling approximately $75,000.

The property has addressed several important safety requirements over the years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) costing $78,000, which reinforced the ground floor and installed structural improvements. Historical records indicate past termite and dry rot repairs (completed in the 1990s). The building has experienced consistent maintenance and upgrading of its systems, though there have been occasional fire safety concerns, including a 2017 fire violation related to the alarm system (which was subsequently corrected). All active building violations from 2017 related to water damage and various structural issues have been resolved.

The building's history includes typical urban maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, primarily relating to parking, street maintenance, and occasional interior surface concerns. The property has experienced five documented fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries. These incidents primarily involved water problems and CO detector activations, indicating regular safety system functionality checks. The most recent building improvement expenditures suggest ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property's systems, with the soft-story retrofit and fire alarm upgrade representing major safety-focused improvements.
