229 Willard St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 229 Willard St in Lone Mountain, owned by Allen M & Patricia N Okamoto, has undergone significant safety upgrades and maintenance over the past several decades. Most recently, in October 2024, the building received a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current safety codes, including the installation of new exit signs and emergency lights, along with the replacement of the electrical panel.

In 2015, the property completed mandatory seismic strengthening work as a Tier 3 soft-story building, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion, which included important electrical system upgrades such as replacing the federal pacific house panel and relocating sub-panels in each unit. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural integrity and safety features, including comprehensive window replacements with insulated glass in 2011, rotted siding replacement, and multiple deck repairs in different years. The property has a history of responding to safety violations, most notably a cluster of issues identified in a 2009 routine inspection that included concerns about egress obstruction, handrail repairs, and fire safety elements, all of which were promptly abated by September 2009.

Earlier maintenance records from 2002 show attention to deck repairs, and more recent years have seen regular attention to building systems and safety compliance. The building has had relatively few recent complaints or violations, with the most recent issues being routine matters such as parking violations and street cleaning concerns recorded through 311 calls in 2023. The most recent housing inspection in 2017 was noted as not active, indicating no outstanding concerns at that time.
