3460-3464 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 10-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3460-3464 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights, built in 1925, has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past several years, with particular focus on seismic retrofitting and fire safety. Most notably, the building completed a comprehensive soft-story seismic retrofit in 2021-2022 (Classified as Tier 4, with work completed and CFC issued), which included both residential and commercial components, and cost approximately $180,000. Recent improvements include the installation of a new fire alarm control panel with low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas (2023), commercial and residential electrical upgrades (2022-2023), and plumbing improvements including HVAC replacement (2023) and bathroom renovations (2021-2022).

The building has experienced some construction-related issues, particularly during 2020-2022, with multiple complaints about dust and chemical exposure during work periods, though these complaints were generally promptly addressed. The property has maintained a proactive approach to building maintenance and safety compliance, as evidenced by recent plumbing work addressing sewer lines and water pipes (2022), roofing work (2019), and multiple fire safety upgrades. Historical violations from 2004 and 2008 related to fire safety issues (including smoke detectors, emergency exits, and fire-rated materials) have all been abated, with no active violations on record.

The building is currently home to a commercial tenant (Goodbyes, a second-hand dealer), and recent planning records show completed improvements including a storefront replacement associated with the soft-story retrofit. While there have been occasional sidewalk maintenance issues noted through 311 calls, these have generally been resolved promptly. The building's systems have undergone regular upgrades, including the recent installation of a new sewer vent cover and various utility improvements, demonstrating ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property's infrastructure.
