838 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 838 Anza Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by United Peace LLC, was constructed in 1959 and completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) at a cost of $85,000. The property has undergone consistent maintenance and modernization over the years, with recent significant electrical upgrades including a fire alarm system improvement in July 2023 and multiple unit electrical panel relocations (Units 102, 201, 301, and 302). Recent building improvements include a substantial kitchen remodel in Unit 302 completed in July 2023, and bathroom renovations in Units 103 (2018) and 201 (2016).

The building has faced some concerning issues in recent years, particularly in early 2023, when multiple electrical problems were reported across several units, including exposed wiring, inaccessible breaker panels, and lighting issues, though these were subsequently addressed through various electrical permits. Historical records show several routine safety inspections and maintenance activities, including fire extinguisher servicing (2022), fire alarm system improvements (2018), and repairs to various building components. The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations, including a 2016 seismic retrofit, and has undergone numerous unit-specific improvements, such as window replacements and various plumbing upgrades.

Recent tenant complaints in 2023 regarding potential unauthorized unit modifications in the garage area were investigated and closed within two weeks. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly related to electrical systems, these have generally been addressed through proper permitting and inspections. The property has accumulated several 311 calls between 2020-2025, primarily related to street maintenance issues outside the building.
