2661-2665 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2661-2665 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by the Donald Defraga Trust, has undergone significant improvements and faced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017, including replacement of the brick foundation with concrete, at a cost of approximately $50,000. This tier 3 soft-story program was successfully completed with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

The building has also seen substantial interior improvements, particularly Unit #1 in 2014, which received a comprehensive renovation including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, new electrical systems, and plumbing improvements worth $20,000. Historical maintenance issues included a serious leak problem in 1999 that persisted for three years during rainy periods, though this was eventually resolved. More recent concerns include a heat system complaint filed in December 2022, which is currently marked as not active.

The property has experienced recurring issues with waste management in the surrounding area, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to garbage debris, though these were generally resolved promptly. The building's infrastructure receives regular attention, as evidenced by multiple street space permits issued in 2008, 2017, and most recently in 2024. While there have been two false fire alarms recorded, no civilian injuries were reported in either instance. The property's most significant recent work was the comprehensive 2017 seismic retrofit, addressing crucial safety concerns in compliance with city requirements.
