3337 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 3337 Octavia Street in the Marina, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by GCS Property LLC, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015 (with a cost of $60,000) as a Tier 3 property, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has prioritized fire safety upgrades, with two recent fire alarm system modifications in 2022 and 2023 (valued at $17,400) including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and new fire alarm panel equipment to meet current fire code requirements.

Additional historical maintenance includes roof replacement in 2003 ($13,000) and water heater replacement in 2010. The property has experienced some safety-related issues in the past, particularly during a 2004 inspection that revealed multiple fire safety and habitability concerns, including egress obstructions, fire escape maintenance issues, and heating system deficiencies. However, these violations were promptly addressed and abated by November 2004.

An additional complaint regarding a rear door lock safety issue was filed in 2004 but also resolved. The building's most recent 311 calls have been primarily related to parking matters rather than building safety concerns, suggesting no recent habitability issues. The property appears to be actively maintaining compliance with current safety standards, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm system upgrades and completion of required retrofits.
