2617 Laguna St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 5-unit, 3-story residential building at 2617 Laguna Street in Pacific Heights, managed by the Coe Charlotte Estate Of, has undergone several significant safety improvements and maintenance projects since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (Tier 3) and underwent substantial foundation work in 2018, including underpinning and perimeter footing replacement. The property faced multiple safety violations in 2016 related to fire safety and building code compliance, including missing unit identification numbers, lack of carbon monoxide detectors, and various other safety requirements; however, all these violations were abated by November 2018.

The building has experienced periodic issues with its alarm systems, with violations and complaints recorded in 2015, 2017, and 2019, though most recently in 2020, a cellular communicator conversion was completed for the fire alarm system. The property has undergone regular maintenance and upgrades, including a bathroom and kitchen remodel in 2012, soft-story retrofit in 2015, emergency fire alarm system replacement in 2015, deck and stair replacements, and various staircase repairs in 2017-2020. A significant foundation improvement project was completed in 2018 at a cost of $262,301.

While there was a notable incident in 2011 involving flooding in three apartments, which raised concerns about mold and asbestos, these issues were addressed promptly. The building has been subject to numerous parking enforcement actions in recent years, with multiple citations issued for illegal parking between 2020 and 2024, suggesting ongoing parking management challenges in the area. Additionally, there have been several street space permits issued between 2019 and 2020, indicating some level of ongoing external maintenance or improvements.
