336-338 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94117
The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 336-338 Pierce Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1900, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in 2024, the building received a complete fire alarm system upgrade, including new facu (fire alarm control unit) and life safety sounders in every living area, with associated electrical work, totaling over $26,000. The building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015 at a cost of $50,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco Building Code requirements.
Historical issues have included multiple complaints and violations regarding a rear structure, which was reportedly reconstructed without proper permits, leading to an active 2017 complaint about exceeded permit scope. The property has experienced periodic vacancy-related problems, with violations related to the Vacant Building Ordinance occurring in 2010, 2012, and 2014, though these were ultimately abated. A 2023 complaint regarding fire escape maintenance and compliance documentation is currently active. The property's maintenance history shows both completed improvements and some persistent issues.
Notable completed work includes a new retaining wall installation in 2014 and various structural repairs, though several permit applications related to rear building reconstruction have been filed and either suspended or cancelled between 2014 and 2018. The building's fire safety systems have received recent attention, as evidenced by the 2024 fire alarm system upgrade. While many past housing complaints have been resolved, some issues related to common areas and building compliance remain open or were filed recently, indicating ongoing monitoring requirements for various building systems and structures. The property has also undergone routine inspections, with past violations for security, stair repairs, and gas utility shutoff tool requirements, though most historical violations have been addressed and abated.
