419 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 419 Pierce Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Plaza Group LLC, has undergone significant improvements and faced various compliance issues since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit work in compliance with San Francisco Building Code requirements, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status as a Tier 3 building.

The property has seen substantial modernization efforts in recent years, including the addition of an ADU in 2017-2019 (with associated fire sprinklers and alarm systems), a fire alarm system upgrade in 2019 to meet current fire safety standards, and a major electrical service upgrade from 200A to 400A in 2018. The building's maintenance and safety record shows regular inspections and prompt responses to identified issues, with most recent fire-related complaints in 2021-2022 related to sprinkler systems and hazardous materials being resolved with "Condition Corrected" dispositions.

Historical records indicate previous routine safety inspections in 1997, 2001, 2008, and 2009, all of which were properly addressed. While there were multiple Soft Story compliance-related complaints filed in 2017-2020, these were ultimately resolved through completed retrofitting work. The building's recent history shows active management and substantial investment in safety systems, with completed permits totaling over $180,000 for various improvements including seismic retrofitting, fire safety upgrades, and unit modifications.
