1848 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

This three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1914, is currently owned by Gene W Yee & Flora H Trust. The property has undergone significant safety improvements, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $90,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements set by the San Francisco Building Code.

The building's maintenance history includes window replacements (approximately 45 windows) initiated in 1992, though this permit eventually expired. The property experienced multiple safety violations in 2002, all of which were resolved by November of the same year. These violations included issues with fire escape ladders, egress obstructions, garbage receptacle placement, and gas utility safety requirements, particularly relating to shutoff tools and instructional diagrams.

Regular routine inspections have been conducted, with records showing inspections in 1996, 2002, and 2013, suggesting ongoing oversight of the building's condition. More recently, there has been a notable pattern of parking-related issues outside the building, with eight separate 311 calls regarding driveway blocking between April and December 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. A disability-related sidewalk and curb issue was transferred to the Department of Public Works in July 2024.
