425 Euclid Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 12-unit apartment building at 425 Euclid Avenue, owned by Haas Residual Trust since 2006, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1952. The property has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a major soft-story retrofit completed in 2018 (tier 3) involving steel frames, plywood shearwalls, and reinforced concrete grade beams, as well as a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade filed in August 2024 that includes new devices, horns in units, and a wireless radio communicator. The building's electrical infrastructure has received substantial attention, with two main service upgrades in 2022 (400-amp replacement) and 2024 (installation of new 400-amp service), along with the replacement of the water heater and storage tank in 2024.

The property has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple fire complaints between 2008 and 2024 primarily related to alarm systems, hazardous materials, and exit maintenance issues, though these were generally corrected promptly. A significant routine inspection in 2008 resulted in several violations regarding fire safety, building maintenance, and security, all of which were abated by February 2010. The building was also subject to regular housing inspections in 1999, 2004, and 2008.

Recent maintenance issues have including three instances of unresolved garbage and debris complaints between August and January 2025, and numerous sidewalk cleaning issues throughout 2024. While there have been several fire alarm activations, most were false alarms or system malfunctions, and there is no record of civilian injuries from any incidents. The building's history shows ongoing efforts to address structural, electrical, and safety requirements, with all major retrofit work completed and current permits indicating continued attention to building infrastructure.
