1688-1698 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1688-1698 Green Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Abuyaghi Properties LLC and constructed in 1904, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 with the installation of shear walls, achieving Tier 3 status and receiving a Certificate of Final Completion. Historical records show multiple window replacements in the 1990s, kitchen and bathroom upgrades in 1998 (which are now expired), and a reroofing project in 1993.

The building has faced some building safety and maintenance issues, particularly during a routine safety inspection in 2013 which identified several violations including drainage pipe deterioration, safety equipment requirements, and lead paint concerns, all of which were subsequently abated. Recent activity around the building has been primarily related to street maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sanitation matters, including recent reports of human/animal waste and debris on the street. There have been three fire department incidents recorded, but none resulted in civilian injuries, and included a water evacuation, a false alarm, and a HazMat investigation that revealed no actual HazMat presence.

The building's most recent documented issues were regarding street cleaning matters, with several resolved cases in 2024, including furniture removal and general cleaning. The property has a history of engaging with city services for various maintenance matters, but all identified building violations from past years have been addressed according to the available records. While the building has met the requirements for soft-story retrofitting and addressed historical safety violations, the most pressing recent concerns seem to be related to public space maintenance rather than building-specific issues.
