1706 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-story, 7-unit apartment building at 1706 Steiner Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Steiner Court LLC, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 at a cost of $100,000, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The property has maintained regular updates to its systems, including a complete renovation of Unit 1 in 2010 featuring modern kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and similar updates to Unit 3 in 2008.

A new steam boiler was installed in 2020, though previous boiler permit lapses in 2015 and 2017 resulted in violations that were subsequently resolved. The building's most pressing safety concerns were addressed in a 2019 fire escape inspection, and the property has remained compliant with subsequent fire safety requirements. Recent maintenance records (2023-2024) show ongoing attention to building systems, with the most significant recent issue being a currently open sidewalk defect case from March 2024.

The property has received multiple service requests through 311 regarding external conditions such as graffiti, litter, and utility issues, though these are primarily related to the street and sidewalk rather than the building itself. Planning records indicate no current commercial uses that would violate residential zoning, with previous inquiries regarding massage and cosmetic tattoo services being disapproved. The building's infrastructure improvements, including electrical and plumbing upgrades in various units, demonstrate ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property's systems to current standards.
