1591 Page St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1591 Page St in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, owned by SF Multifamily III Property, was built in 1900 and has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Most notably, the property completed a soft-story retrofit (Tier 3), demonstrating earthquake safety compliance. Between 2018-2020, multiple unit renovations were performed, including Units 103 and 303 receiving complete makeovers with new kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems, while the ground floor was modified to add two new dwelling units (ADUs) with full amenities. The building's fire safety systems have been a focus, with mandatory fire alarm installations and sprinkler system improvements completed in 2019 at a cost of $32,800, along with various fire alarm and sprinkler system maintenance issues that have been resolved.

The building underwent substantial construction work in 2018-2019, including interior demolition and seismic retrofitting, which caused temporary discomfort to residents as evidenced by several complaints regarding construction noise and resulting structural issues during that period. A series of violations and complaints were recorded in 2018 related to interior surface conditions, including plaster repairs and lead hazard notifications, though these were abated by March 2018. The property has experienced recurring fire alarm system activations and occasional maintenance issues, though all documented fire-related complaints and violations have been resolved. Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing challenges with the building's immediate surroundings, particularly regarding sidewalk cleanliness and debris (including human waste), though these external issues do not directly impact the building's internal conditions.

The most recent housing inspection from January 2024 noted concerns in common areas, which was abated in February 2024. The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including electrical system upgrades (new panels, wiring, and fixtures), plumbing modernizations, and compliance with the city's fire safety requirements. Historical records show a pattern of addressing maintenance issues promptly, with most violations and complaints being resolved within reasonable timeframes. The property management has maintained an active approach to renovations and upgrades, as evidenced by the significant investment in unit improvements and building systems over the past five years.
