2843 Webster St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 15-unit apartment building at 2843 Webster Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Donald Geller Trust 2002, is a 3-story structure built in 1926. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $80,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance work includes the installation of a fireplace in 2022-2023 (with the 2022 permit having expired and a new permit issued in December 2023) and various street space permits issued in 2017 and 2014. The building faced multiple violations in September 2008 related to fire safety, including egress obstructions, fire extinguisher issues, and combustible storage concerns, all of which were abated by December 2008.

The property has a history of maintenance and safety-related incidents that warrant attention. In 2011, several roofing and structural repairs were completed, including work on the carport. A concerning complaint was filed in February 2023 regarding unsafe conditions in the lower garage and back parking area, though this complaint is listed as not active. There have been periodic fire safety issues, with multiple complaints in late 2017 regarding alarm systems, exit maintenance, and extinguishers, though these were generally resolved promptly.

The building has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, particularly in 2019, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking violations. The property underwent a complete re-roofing project in 2011, and historical records show various maintenance work dating back to 1986, when back stairs on the right side were replaced. The building is currently classified as Tier 2 for soft-story retrofit compliance, with work officially marked as complete and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. While many past violations and complaints have been resolved, the presence of recent maintenance and safety concerns suggests ongoing oversight of building conditions is necessary.
