245 Shrader St, San Francisco, CA 94117

245 Shrader Street is a 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Wendy Spaner. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, notably completing its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2021 with the installation of plywood shear walls and steel moment frames, work which was completed under permit #201709148087. The building has also seen substantial modernization, including a complete electrical service upgrade to a new 400-amp system with new meters completed in July 2024, and a reroofing project in 2022 costing $18,000.

A significant addition to the property was the successful installation of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the first floor, completed in 2021 following multiple permit revisions. The building's history includes several fire safety-related violations in 2003, primarily concerning fire escape maintenance, smoke enclosure door closers, and fire proofing materials, all of which were abated by September 2003. There were also three fire alarm system complaints between 2018-2022, two of which were found to have no merit, and one in 2018 that was corrected.

The property has undergone routine safety inspections and faced a brief period of non-compliance with the soft-story retrofit requirements in 2020, though this was subsequently resolved. Recent 311 calls regarding the property primarily relate to external matters such as parking enforcement and tree maintenance, rather than building-specific issues. While there was one occurrence of mold and mildew reported in 2007, this complaint was promptly resolved. The building appears to be currently well-maintained and compliant with most current regulatory requirements, having completed its mandatory seismic retrofit and other major infrastructure upgrades.
