2-14 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2-14 Carl Street, owned by 2 Carl Street LLC, was built in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $55,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building has seen substantial mechanical improvements in recent years, including the installation of two water heaters in 2021 and the replacement of a steam boiler in 2020, marking maintenance deadlines met as of October 2023.

The property has faced some notable challenges, particularly during 2019-2020, with active violations and complaints regarding electrical safety (exposed wiring and improper fuse box conditions) and a heating system failure, though the heating issue was resolved by December 2019. Historical records from 2001-2006 show various building maintenance issues that were all eventually resolved, including problems with fire escape maintenance, handrails, damaged walls, and stairs, though some of these may not have been directly related to current resident safety.

Recent activity in 2024 has primarily consisted of exterior maintenance issues, with multiple reports of graffiti and debris on the property, though these are more related to general upkeep rather than structural or safety concerns. The most recent building modification records show work completed on Unit #4 in 2010, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling with associated electrical and plumbing upgrades, while some permits from that period expired without completion.
