415 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 415 Pierce St is a three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Plaza Group LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (under Tier 3 requirements) that included the relocation of shear walls.

Recent building improvements include a comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodel in Unit #10 (2017), an electrical service upgrade from 200A to 400A (2018), and routine fire safety inspections showing prompt resolution of issues related to sprinkler systems, extinguishers, and alarm systems. The building's history includes multiple violations in the mid-2000s, particularly concerning unpermitted plumbing and sewer modifications, and an incident in 2006 involving hazardous conditions in the back area during plumbing work.

While these historical issues were addressed, there have been recurring concerns about fire safety systems, including a 2015 complaint regarding an inoperable fire escape that required attention. Several minor street space permits have been issued between 2017-2018, and the building has had multiple routine safety inspections that have generally shown compliance with housing codes. Recent years have seen primarily external issues being reported through 311 calls, including parking complaints and graffiti, with the most recent fire safety inspection (October 2023) showing corrected conditions for the sprinkler/standpipe system.
