2372-2378 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2372-2378 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights, owned by William H Gaddy Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1908. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $63,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent fire safety improvements include a fire extinguisher inspection in 2024 (condition corrected), prior exit maintenance issues in 2021 (resolved), and the installation of emergency lighting and exit signs in 2016. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic needs, including a complete roof replacement in 2011 ($20,700) and brick stairs repairs in 2011 ($700).

The property has experienced several regulatory interventions over its history, including two building violations in 2001 and 2009 related to fire safety and handrail requirements, both of which were resolved. There have been three documented fire alarm incidents involving system malfunctions or unintentional activations, but no civilian injuries were reported in these events. The most recent permits indicate ongoing attention to street space maintenance, with multiple permits issued in 2017. Recent 311 calls from 2024-2025 primarily relate to external maintenance issues such as tree concerns, curb defects, and seasonal waste disposal, rather than structural or safety matters.

The building's fire safety record suggests regular inspections and prompt corrections of identified issues, with the most recent fire extinguisher inspection in 2024 showing responsible maintenance practices. The property has undergone regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine inspection recorded in 2014. A plumbing permit (completed 2023) suggests ongoing maintenance of building systems. Comparatively, the building's violation history is relatively minimal for its age, with no active violations on record as of October 2023. While the building has experienced occasional maintenance issues over the years, the pattern suggests prompt attention to regulatory requirements and safety systems, particularly in terms of seismic retrofitting and fire safety compliance.
