307 Austin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

307 Austin Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a 2003 electrical upgrade to a 200-amp service with two 100-amp meters for each unit, a reroofing project in 2006 costing nearly $12,000, and structural improvements in 1990 including foundation bolting and plywood bracing.

Previous maintenance work included stair replacement in 1988. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system activations, with seven documented incidents of false alarms or unintentional activations, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries or actual fires.

Recent concerns have emerged regarding graffiti on and around the property, with multiple reports throughout 2024 affecting the building's exterior and mailboxes. The property has also received a fire code violation notice in August 2024, specifically regarding ERCS (Emergency Responder Communication System) requirements. While the building itself appears to be relatively well-maintained structurally, as evidenced by the lack of significant recent building code violations, there are ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance and security in the surrounding area, as demonstrated by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and a currently open encampment case nearby.
