2810 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The four-story, six-unit apartment building at 2810 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, currently owned by the Ronald W Austin Living Trust, was constructed in 1900 and underwent significant recent improvements to address safety and modernize its facilities. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit and received its Certificate of Final Completion, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Major improvements from 2018 included the installation of a new fire sprinkler system throughout the first floor ($32,655), a comprehensive electrical upgrade including a new 400-amp service, and extensive plumbing renovations featuring new bathrooms and kitchens in multiple units.

The building underwent basement excavation to create additional storage space with a 9-foot ceiling height, and improvements were made to unit 1's layout including bedroom and bathroom expansions. A new two-car garage was constructed, replacing an existing patio, and the building's water flow and supervisory systems were updated with new monitoring equipment in 2018. The property has maintained regular inspections and addressed necessary repairs, including stucco work on the street-facing facade and issues related to historical soil erosion concerns in 2017.

While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property since 2014, these primarily concerned external street issues such as parking violations and waste disposal rather than building-specific problems. Historical building complaints from 2000 and 2013 were routine inspections, and a 2017 complaint regarding soil erosion appears to have been addressed based on subsequent permit activity. The most recent building-related activity includes a meter installation permit from November 2020, suggesting continued attention to building infrastructure maintenance.
