28-30 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 28-30 Carl Street, owned by Brody-yost Fmly Lvg Tr, has undergone significant renovations since 2021. Originally constructed in 1906, this two-story flats/duplex structure is currently undergoing substantial improvements, including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system. Major renovations commenced in early 2021 with a $750,000 project that included horizontal and vertical additions, creation of habitable space from garage, reconfiguration of units, removal of the gable roof, and installation of a roof terrace.

In 2023, the building received a new fire sprinkler system ($40,371) followed by additional sprinkler system modifications ($1). Recent work includes the installation of skylights, a fire-rated window, and upgrading the electrical system with new 400-amp service and solar panel installation. The property has a notable history of building complaints from January 2020 regarding potentially hazardous lead paint work, though these complaints are now listed as not active.

The building's safety and comfort features have been significantly improved with recent permits showing the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system, smoke detectors, and other fire safety equipment. New mechanical systems are being added as evidenced by permits for duct mini-split systems. While there have been several parking-related 311 calls in the vicinity, these issues were primarily external to the building itself and have been resolved through normal channels. The extensive scope of permitted work and the completion of these projects suggest a substantial investment in improving the building's safety, comfort, and energy efficiency.
