61 Central Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 61 Central Avenue building is a four-story, 11-unit multi-family residential property built in 1908, currently owned by Waller And Central LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably completing its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3 - CFC Issued) with a cost of $60,000, and a comprehensive reroofing project in 2020 costing $57,000.

Other notable improvements include new siding installation in 2017 ($20,000), electrical system upgrades including ufer ground installation in 2018, and a fire safety compliance review in 2017. The building has experienced some concerning issues over its history, including a troubling mold complaint in 2011, though this was reportedly addressed within a day. Multiple violations were documented in 2006 related to fire safety and lead paint hazards, including issues with the fire escape drop ladder, fire proofing, and lead paint that were ultimately abated by 2007.

More recent complaints include a 2022 issue with driveway and sidewalk grading affecting residents' vehicles, which was resolved within two days. The property has experienced three documented fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and there was one fire complaint in 2021 related to combustible materials which was corrected by March 2022. Recent maintenance needs are primarily limited to exterior issues, with multiple reports of graffiti (three open cases from January 2025) and various street/sidewalk cleaning issues, though these are typical for the location and not directly related to building conditions.
