1960 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1960 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Panos Gus P Trust, was constructed in 1958 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic strengthening work in 2018, following the 2017-2018 permit process, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has received regular maintenance upgrades, including window replacements in 2006 (22 windows and French doors in 6 apartments), plumbing system updates with a new heater installation in 2013, and a furnace replacement in 2023.

The property has faced several routine inspections and violations, particularly in 2011 when issues related to fire safety equipment (fire extinguisher recharges) and gas utility shutoff tools were identified, though these were promptly resolved within two weeks. Fire safety systems have required periodic attention, with multiple alarm system-related complaints between 2007 and 2017, all of which were corrected. Historical records show termite repairs completed in 1996, and footnotes indicate the building had a fire escape/ladder maintenance violation in 2007, which was subsequently resolved.

The building has maintained an active response to external issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street conditions, though these generally relate to external matters such as parking violations or street maintenance rather than internal building conditions. Regular routine housing inspections have been conducted in 1997, 1999, and 2011, with all issues being resolved in a timely manner. The most recent major infrastructure work, aside from the soft-story retrofit, includes the 2023 furnace replacement, indicating ongoing commitment to building system maintenance.
