74-78 Page St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-story multi-family residential building at 74-78 Page Street, owned by David M Collins, was constructed in 1910 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, an unauthorized roof deck installation was reported in September 2019, leading to an active building violation that remains unresolved as of October 2023.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit work, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements in early 2020, with associated foundation revisions costing $3,500. Safety and maintenance concerns have been addressed through various repairs, including a $3,500 project in October 2019 to repair back steps and stair landings between the second and third floors. The building has experienced recurring fire safety violations, with the most recent violation issued in December 2023 regarding alarm systems.

Between 2019 and 2022, multiple fire code violations were documented and subsequently corrected, including issues with standpipes, emergency lighting, exit sign illumination, and building owner contact postings. Historical improvements to the property include a 2009 gas line installation for water heater and dryer, and a 2003 upgrade from fuse panels to circuit breakers. Recent complaints from 2021 regarding construction noise and building vibrations suggest ongoing concerns with construction activities, while a pattern of maintenance issues is evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris in the vicinity of the building between October 2024 and December 2024.
