1652 Eddy St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-unit, two-story apartment building at 1652 Eddy Street in the Western Addition neighborhood, owned by Bernal Heights Housing Corp, has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues dating back several years. Most notably, the building is currently listed as non-compliant under San Francisco's Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program (Tier 4), with active violations filed in 2018 and 2022 regarding failure to complete required seismic retrofit work and maintain monthly monitoring fees.

Recent building permits indicate attempts at maintenance, including a cancelled 2024 exterior repainting project estimated at $107,782, and a previously issued soft-story upgrade permit from 2020 valued at $40,000. The building's maintenance history shows regular plumbing and safety system updates, including the removal and replacement of backflow devices (2012-2022), installation of a sewer ejector pump and related plumbing work (2016), and replacement of seven boilers (2020).

Several significant building safety concerns have emerged over the years, including multiple fire safety violations (2023 sleeping area violation, 2022 blocked exits, and various alarm system issues 2015-2023), a 2017 elevator malfunction, multiple complaints about water heating issues in 2024, and historical mold problems (2010, 2017). The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including a 2002 fire sprinkler system installation, though many repair and upgrade projects appear to have faced delays or cancellation, as evidenced by the recent cancelled repainting project.
