1-9 Vega St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 5-unit apartment building at 1-9 Vega Street in Anza Vista, owned by Bypass Trust, is a 2-story structure built in 1948 that has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $87,000, which included the installation of shear walls and moment frames to improve seismic safety. The property experienced a series of violations in September 2016, which were addressed by mid-2017, including issues with water damage, interior surface problems, and concerns about lead paint hazards.

These violations prompted necessary repairs including handrail installations, water heater strapping, electrical upgrades, and various interior renovations. The building's maintenance history shows attention to necessary repairs, including deck tile replacement, stucco repair, and addressing dry rot in 2016. Recent concerns include an April 2024 complaint regarding heat issues in Unit 3, though this complaint has not yet been marked as abated.

The property has also experienced recurring issues with exterior debris management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024 regarding garbage and abandoned items on the property. A shared spaces request from August 2024 concerning "disruptive levels of amplified sound" remains open. While the building has completed several major safety upgrades, including the soft-story retrofit, the recent heating complaint and ongoing waste management issues suggest some challenges in current property maintenance. The most recent significant improvements were primarily focused on addressing safety and structural requirements rather than aesthetic or comfort enhancements.
