1075 Ofarrell St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1075 Ofarrell Street is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently undergoing significant unit improvements. Most recently, Unit 10 is scheduled for kitchen and bathroom rehabilitation in August 2024, following similar completed renovations in Unit 1 (November 2023) and Unit 7 (May 2018). The building has experienced several regulatory and maintenance challenges in recent years, including a boiler permit issue in April 2024, multiple fire safety violations between 2022-2024 (including violations related to sprinklers, alarm systems, and extinguishers), and various electrical infrastructure upgrades such as an attempted 400-amp service installation in 2018.

Historical records show several significant improvements and incidents affecting the building's systems and tenant experience. Between 2018-2021, there were improvements to the building's common areas, including lobby renovations, fire alarm upgrades, and electrical work, though some of this work was performed without proper permits, leading to violation notices. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues, including heating system problems reported in 2020, electrical circuit concerns in 2021, and various complaints regarding common area conditions.

A notable series of building violations from 2008 related to security, ventilation, heating, and gas utility requirements were later abated. The property underwent an attempted expansion project in 2018 to add two ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) but this project was ultimately cancelled. More recent tenant activity includes a buyout transaction in June 2024 involving two tenants for $5,120.02, though the reason for this buyout is not specified in the records. This report spans the building's most recent and historical records through October 2023, focusing on significant events, permits, and violations that impact resident experience and safety.
