49-59 Beideman St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story multi-family residential building at 49-59 Beideman Street in the Western Addition neighborhood, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Angelina L. Forte, consists of 6 units and has undergone significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2013, including the installation of grade beams and shear walls in the basement, to enhance seismic safety.

Between 2012-2013, substantial renovations were performed throughout the building, including comprehensive bathroom remodels in all six units, replacement of all six wall furnaces, complete electrical system upgrades with new wiring for lights, receptacles, switches, smoke detectors, and panels, as well as plumbing installations for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities. An extensive renovation in 2009 had previously updated kitchens, bathrooms, windows, and storage facilities, demonstrating consistent maintenance and improvement of the property. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2018 and 2019, during which multiple violations were identified, including issues with fire safety equipment, stair handrails, and carbon monoxide alarms.

While these violations were noted as "Not Active," their resolution status is not explicitly documented in the available records. Historical complaints from the mid-1990s regarding severe ceiling leaks and flue issues were eventually resolved by 1996. Recent maintenance activities appear focused on exterior upkeep, with several 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and waste management issues, including reports of abandoned furniture and garbage on the property grounds, though these were mostly resolved promptly. The building's Tier 3 soft-story retrofit status indicates that seismic improvements have been completed and certified.
