1929 Laguna St, San Francisco, CA 94115

1929 Laguna Street is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood, owned by Mnsf Laguna Prpty Llc and constructed in 1917. The building has undergone significant safety and compliance upgrades in recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2021 (achieving Tier 3 status) which addressed mandatory seismic safety requirements. Most notably, in 2023, the building underwent substantial fire safety improvements, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system on the ground floor and an upgrade of the fire alarm system to meet current San Francisco Fire Code requirements, with work completed in September 2023 at a cost of approximately $61,000.

The ground floor area was also converted to accommodate an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in 2019, with additional plumbing and electrical work completed in early 2024. The building has a documented history of building violations from 2016-2019, all of which have been resolved. These included issues related to fire safety systems, structural elements, and the necessity for carbon monoxide detectors, with all matters officially abated by September 2021.

The property underwent routine inspections in 2016 and 2019 which prompted the mentioned corrective actions. While there have been several maintenance-related permits issued over the years (including sewer trap replacement in 2014 and multiple street space permits), recent improvements focus primarily on enhancing fire safety systems and completing the ADU conversion. The building's recent permit activity demonstrates ongoing investment in property improvements and compliance with current safety standards. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily relating to street cleaning and parking matters, but these are external to the building's structural and safety systems.
