2828 Webster St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 14-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2828 Webster St in Cow Hollow, owned by the Chang Wai-sai Family Limited P, has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1959. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story Retrofit under Tier 3 requirements in 2019-2020, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety regulations. The property has received comprehensive electrical upgrades in September 2024, with all units replacing their old Federal Pacific panels and installing new sub panels.

Fire safety improvements have been a priority, with the installation of a sprinkler system between 2015-2018, though there have been multiple fire safety inspections and some violations noted between 2013-2022, including issues with sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and blocked exits, all of which were subsequently corrected. The building has a history of structural and maintenance issues that have been addressed over time. This includes the repair of dry rot damage in 2020, soft-story retrofit completion, and the legalization of a garage-level unit in 2015.

There were some concerning tenant health and safety issues in the past, including reports of mold/mildew in 2006 that were resolved, and earlier concerns about unpermitted roof construction in 2007. Recent maintenance records show regular attention to building systems, though there have been occasional issues requiring correction, such as the Fire Safety complaints in 2016 and 2020 that were resolved. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes and safety requirements, with recent electrical upgrades and fire safety improvements indicating ongoing commitment to maintaining the building's systems.
