435 Locust St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 435 Locust Street in Presidio Heights is an 8-unit apartment complex constructed in 1905, currently owned by SF Presidio Heights LLC. The property has undergone significant improvements and renovations over the past decade, with major work completed between 2011-2012 including the installation of a new overhead fire sprinkler system in the parking garage (completed in 2012) with associated underground piping, structural reinforcement work including new concrete footings and steel columns, and various unit modifications such as bathroom additions and furnace replacements. The building experienced a period of regulatory scrutiny in 2014 when multiple violations were documented regarding non-compliance with the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, resulting in violation monitoring fees and an earthquake warning placard placement, though these violations were officially abated by February 2015.

Historical issues include a 2000 complaint regarding leaks, deck safety concerns, and an exit door lock issue that were promptly addressed within one day. More recent history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of building systems, including multiple plumbing and electrical improvements between 2008-2012, such as sewer relocations, furnace replacements, and bathroom renovations. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, with numerous reports of blocked driveways between 2023-2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

A fire alarm systems issue was reported and corrected in 2008, and there was one complaint in 2012 regarding construction-related soil and debris management during garage work, which was quickly resolved. The building's overall maintenance record suggests active management and prompt response to building code requirements, particularly during the 2013-2015 period when regulatory compliance became a focus. Separate from building conditions, recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and parking enforcement matters.
