2539 Post St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2539 Post Street in Lower Pacific Heights has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1974. Most notably, the building was identified as a Tier 3 property under San Francisco's Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, with work now completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued.

Recent improvements include a $21,000 reroofing project completed in late 2024 and a fire alarm system upgrade completed in early 2023 to comply with current safety requirements. A 400-amp electrical service upgrade was completed in 2022, reflecting ongoing infrastructure improvements. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the years, including a mold problem due to water leakage in 2017, concerns about lead dust during painting work in 2010, and a potentially hazardous retaining wall situation in 2005 (though this was promptly addressed).

Recent compliance efforts include handling an October 2024 complaint regarding unauthorized removal of adjacent building siding during roofing work, which remains in the process of being resolved. The property has also faced some parking-related challenges, as evidenced by multiple enforcement actions recorded between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building's condition. The most recent inspection and work completed under various permits suggest active management of the building's maintenance and safety requirements, with particular attention paid to earthquake retrofitting and fire safety systems.
