610 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 610 Cole Street property, located in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury neighborhood, is a three-story, 21-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by the Olson Family Trust. The building has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years, including the completion of mandatory soft-story retrofits in 2022 (with a cost of $101,000) and a recent fire alarm system upgrade in December 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, demonstrating compliance with city-wide seismic safety and fire protection standards.

The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the years, including recent fire violations related to sleeping area requirements in December 2023 (now abated), a 2024 fire complaint regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems (no merit), and previous violations related to unauthorized construction work in 2014, though most historical building violations have been resolved. Recent building improvements have focused on modernization and safety, including a 2019 interior tenant remodel costing $121,000, installation of new HVAC systems, security upgrades (including exterior security cameras), and various plumbing and electrical improvements.

The property has maintained active compliance with regular fire safety inspections, though there have been recurring issues with alarm systems and sprinkler systems, with most being categorized as "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected." The building's commercial storefront space has experienced periodic vacancy and unauthorized modifications, particularly regarding roll-down metal doors, with recent complaints filed in 2022-2023 now either closed or in active review. A notable recent finding from June 2023 involved observed mold in Unit 105, though this complaint is listed as "Not Active." The property's location has been subject to various municipal service calls in recent months (2024), primarily related to street conditions and city services, though these are external to the building itself.
