3590 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3590 Sacramento St in Presidio Heights, built in 1905, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $80,000, including seismic improvements and the addition of a ufer ground conductor to the foundation, bringing the structure into compliance with San Francisco building codes.

In 2005, the building experienced multiple interior maintenance issues that were documented through a complaint (200561414), including problems with walls, floors, fire safety equipment, security doors, and lead paint concerns, though all these violations were resolved by August 2005. Unit #5 underwent a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2010, which included new electrical work and plumbing installations totaling approximately $18,000. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, including reroofing work in 2005 and significant electrical system upgrades in 2011 with the installation of 8 meter sockets and a 200-amp service.

Three routine housing inspections were conducted in 2000, 2005, and 2008, suggesting regular oversight of building conditions. Recent activity around the property (2024) has primarily involved external issues such as multiple parking meter damage reports and some street cleaning matters, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The property's completion of the soft-story retrofit program (classified as Tier 3) in 2016 indicates compliance with one of the city's most important seismic safety requirements, significantly improving the building's structural resilience.
