780-788 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 18-unit, 3-story apartment building at 780-788 Hayes Street, owned by the Stanley E Pareto Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant safety improvements since its 1929 construction. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $97,250 to meet seismic safety requirements, including the installation of a U-fer ground system. The building has demonstrated regular attention to fire safety systems, with the most recent fire-related inspections in 2022-2023 addressing extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems, all of which were corrected.

A recent complaint from May 2024 regarding plumbing leaks and mold in Unit 206 was addressed by July 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals several periods of attention to various building systems and safety features. In 2003, multiple violations were recorded and subsequently resolved within approximately one month, addressing issues such as inadequate lighting, damage to walls and ceilings, absence of smoke detectors, and fire escape maintenance.

Recent inspections in 2018, 2015, and routine safety checks have generally shown compliance with housing codes. Additional historical work included rear stair repairs in 2008 and various electrical upgrades. The property has undergone periodic inspections and has maintained communication with housing authorities, though some routine maintenance issues have surfaced, particularly regarding graffiti and debris management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024. The building appears to maintain active management of safety systems, as demonstrated by prompt responses to fire system inspections and other safety concerns, with all identified issues being marked as "Condition Corrected" or resolved through appropriate channels.
