960 Bay St, San Francisco, CA 94109

960 Bay Street is a 3-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by West Moon Holdings LLC. The property has undergone several significant upgrades in recent years, most notably a 400-amp electrical service upgrade with 13 meter sockets completed in December 2022, and the installation of fire alarm notification devices in 2022 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent unit improvements include a comprehensive remodel of Unit 6 in 2021 ($40,000) that added a bathroom, created a new bedroom, and updated the kitchen, as well as earlier renovations in 2020 involving bathroom and kitchen updates. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and comfort concerns, including multiple window replacements (2007) and a reroofing project (2014). Several complaints were filed in 2008-2012 regarding various maintenance issues such as lead paint concerns, weatherproofing problems, and interior surface conditions, though these were all officially abated by August 2012. More recent complaints have primarily focused on construction-related issues, with several 311 calls regarding unauthorized work and noise in 2020-2022, though these matters appear to have been resolved.

The property also experienced electrical and safety concerns in 2015, with reports of inoperative electrical systems and lack of lighting in the garage and back stairwell, which were addressed promptly. As of October 2023, there are two open issues of note: a fire alarm system violation from April 2024, and a graffiti complaint from September 2023. The building's recent history suggests ongoing investment in systems upgrades and unit improvements, with most significant violations being promptly addressed. The property holds historical significance as one of the earlier buildings to complete the mandatory soft-story retrofit program in San Francisco, and has maintained active compliance with major building codes, though periodic maintenance issues continue to arise as with many older multi-family buildings.
