2139 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2139 Pierce Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Harry O Sweet Revocable Living Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The building has undergone several significant improvements, most notably completing mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work in 2017 at a cost of $46,000, followed by additional unit-specific renovations in 2020 valued at $35,000, which included kitchen and bathroom updates in unit #6.

During the seismic retrofit period, a building violation was filed in October 2019 regarding compliance with the Soft Story Retrofit Program, though this was resolved by March 2020 with proper permits obtained for rewiring and plumbing work. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, including a 2008 sewer system upgrade with cast iron installation, deck repairs in 1998, and various roofing and wall improvements over the decades. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved multiple Recology service calls for overflowing city garbage cans between December 2024 and January 2025, suggesting possible waste management challenges in the area.

The property's soft-story retrofit status is listed as "Work Complete, CFC Issued," indicating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Planning records show a variance and conditional use request that were disapproved, though no specific details are provided. The building's inspection history includes routine checks in 1998, 2007, and 2010, with at least one plumbing complaint in unit #2 being filed in 2013, all of which have since been resolved.
