1948-1950 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1948-1950 Washington Street, owned by Antioco Jurate, has undergone significant structural maintenance and improvements over the past decade. Built in 1900, this Pacific Heights building has completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2019 (Tier 3), addressing important safety requirements.

The property has experienced recurring issues with its retaining wall/foundation, beginning with a 2016 complaint about a potentially unsafe retaining wall with large cracks, which led to a series of permitting and construction activities between 2020-2021 involving wall replacement and foundation underpinning work costing over $50,000. More recent concerns about construction impacts were documented in December 2021, though these issues were subsequently resolved. The building has a history of maintenance challenges requiring official intervention, including multiple housing violations in 2010 related to water damage, mold, ceiling repairs, and smoke detectors that were abated by February 2010.

Subsequent routine inspections in 2013 and 2018 revealed various issues including wood stairs requiring repairs and brick damage at the front entry. Recent building complaints in 2022 noted concerns about construction-related noise, while multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily related to street cleaning and waste management issues near the property. The most recent building permits and complaints suggest that major structural work has been completed, though there continues to be periodic monitoring and maintenance issues requiring attention.
