57 Ashbury St, San Francisco, CA 94117

57 Ashbury Street is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1919, currently owned by Daniel Morse. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, installing new plywood shear walls with epoxy hold-downs at a cost of $43,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Significant recent improvements include electrical work in October 2005, bathroom and kitchen renovations in 2005, and a sewer repair in 2014. Of particular note was a substantial plumbing incident in February 2021, where flooding occurred in units 6, 4, and 2, affecting electrical systems and requiring emergency response from multiple inspection divisions. The building has undergone regular safety inspections, with records showing routine inspections in 2000, 2003, 2009, 2012, and 2017.

In 2003, several fire safety and maintenance issues were identified, including problems with wood stairs, emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors, though these were all resolved by October 2003. The property has experienced recurring moisture-related issues, as evidenced by the 2021 flooding incident and multiple historical bathroom renovation projects. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing management of exterior maintenance issues, particularly regarding garbage and debris accumulation around the property.
