1939-1941 Turk St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 1939-1941 Turk Street, owned by Danny Benatar, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with particular attention to structural integrity and unit modernization. Most notably, there is an active concern about the building's soft-story status, with a complaint filed in December 2020 stating it had not been added to the city's soft-story property mandate, posing a potential hazard to residents.

This followed a 2017 complaint regarding the same issue when it was classified as a Tier 3 soft-story structure with no permit filed. The building has seen substantial maintenance and upgrades since 2018, including a $20,000 window replacement and roof support addition in unit #3, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and important safety work such as the voluntary installation of shear walls in the basement in 2016 and foundation bolting in 2012.

Recent improvements in 2019 encompassed comprehensive plumbing upgrades including a new shower pan, bathroom remodeling, and HVAC system replacement, along with electrical rewiring and panel upgrades. The property has undergone regular safety inspections over the years, with the most recent routine safety inspection taking place in 2017. While the building's recent maintenance record shows significant investment in safety and modernization, the outstanding soft-story compliance issue from 2020 remains the most significant concern on the building's current record.
