60 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, seven-unit apartment building at 60 Central Avenue in Buena Vista Park, built in 1905, has undergone significant structural and safety improvements over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, achieving Tier 3 compliance, followed by foundation improvements including a brick-to-concrete replacement and comprehensive anchor bolt installation in 2013. The property has seen substantial recent activity, with a $75,000 stucco replacement project scheduled for front and back walls in July 2024, and the 2017 legalization of an additional dwelling unit within the building envelope.

Recent complaints from 2019 about dust and construction issues during retrofitting work were investigated, though no active violations remain on record. The building's safety systems have received regular attention, with multiple fire alarm system activations recorded (typically from malfunctions or false alarms) but no actual incidents or civilian injuries. The property has undergone various system upgrades, including a comprehensive 6-unit repipe and water service installation in 2012, and multiple plumbing improvements between 2018-2019.

Historical violations from 2006 regarding fire safety equipment and security features were promptly resolved, and a 2001 complaint about an illegal wooden deck was addressed. The building's recent maintenance history shows continued investment in structural and cosmetic improvements, with the most recent major work focusing on exterior maintenance. While there have been recurring issues with graffiti and street maintenance outside the property (as documented in 311 calls), these are primarily municipal infrastructure concerns rather than building-specific issues.
