3145 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94123

3145 Octavia Street is a historic 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by 3145 Octavia Street LLC. The property has undergone significant safety improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory Soft Story Retrofit in 2016 which included the installation of steel moment frames and anchoring to the foundation. In 2024, the building received an upgrade to its fire alarm system to meet current safety standards, with work completed under building permit #202409130681 costing $31,900.

The building has a history of unit improvements from 2012-2013, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 12 and 16, along with plumbing upgrades and electrical work. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns over the years that were subsequently addressed. These include a 2016 complaint about brown rusty water from hot faucets, and various fire safety violations in the early 2000s regarding fire extinguishers, fire escape ladders, and blocked exits.

Recent fire safety inspections (2023) resulted in a violation related to the alarm system, though this has since been abated. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both unit-specific improvements and building-wide safety requirements, including a lateral sewer replacement in 2013 and multiple street space permits. While the building has faced various violations and complaints over the years, the records indicate that these issues were addressed and abated, with the most recent work focusing on modernizing safety systems to comply with current San Francisco Building Code requirements.
