2231 Ofarrell St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 2231 Ofarrell St in Anza Vista, constructed in 1913, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past two decades, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (with an additional concrete cap and plywood shearwall installation costing $90,000 total) and replacing its sewer system in 2013. The building has faced various maintenance and safety challenges, particularly evident in a series of violations documented in 2007 related to interior conditions, including mold, damaged walls, lead paint hazards, and security concerns, though all these violations were abated by March 2007.

Recent plumbing work has included a gas houseline extension in 2020, and routine safety inspections were conducted in 2004, 2011, and 2017 with no active violations noted. The property has maintained compliance with major safety requirements, including completing its soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 building with CFC issued.

Recent maintenance issues documented through 311 calls primarily relate to external matters such as street cleaning, sidewalk parking violations, and graffiti, rather than building-specific concerns. The building's history shows regular attention to infrastructure maintenance, including a roof replacement in 1990 and termite repairs in 1987, though these permits have expired. While there have been some recurring issues with sidewalk parking and street maintenance in recent months (as of 2024), these are external to the building itself and have been generally addressed by city services.
