1360 Lyon St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1360 Lyon Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Abrams Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its construction in 1975. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (with revisions finalized in 2018), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building has maintained an active commitment to structural integrity, as evidenced by recent responses to safety concerns including multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and debris management in 2023-2025.

Historical maintenance work includes a reroofing project in 2006 costing $9,840, and exterior stair repairs in 2003-2004 responding to safety violations regarding handrails and steps. The building has also addressed various safety concerns through past violations and complaints, particularly in 2003 and 2008, which involved issues with fire safety equipment, stairway handrails, and exterior maintenance. All these violations were subsequently abated, indicating compliance with housing safety standards.

The most recent building history shows ongoing attention to maintenance and safety, with three reported 311 calls in 2024 specifically related to parking violations, though these are external to the building's structural and safety systems. The building's fire safety record shows one accidental alarm activation with no fire or civilian injuries. The property has successfully completed its soft-story retrofit program, receiving a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) and meeting the requirements of San Francisco's Tier 3 soft-story program. While there have been several maintenance and safety issues documented in the past, particularly during the early 2000s, the building's recent history shows fewer structural violations, suggesting improved maintenance practices, though it has experienced some recurring issues with parking-related incidents on the surrounding streets.
