1302-1310 Willard St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 1302-1310 Willard St in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood is a 3-story structure built in 1924 and owned by Ray John Wittenberg Revoc T. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements, most notably completing the soft-story retrofit in 2014 with a $39,000 project to meet San Francisco's mandatory seismic strengthening requirements. Recent maintenance work included addressing dry-rot on the exterior back stair in 2019 ($3,000) and replacing the boiler backflow device in 2018.

However, the building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple heat-related complaints documented between 1994 and 2009, including a recent boiler permit renewal issue in late 2024 that resulted in a violation notice. The property has several notable safety and maintenance concerns, including a current open violation as of November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. Past fire safety issues included combustible materials and alarm system problems in 2021 (though one was marked as "Condition Corrected"), while a similar violation was filed in 2009 regarding fire escape maintenance.

Multiple security-related violations were documented in 2011, including issues with exterior doors and fire safety systems. The building underwent routine inspections in 1996, 1999, 2007, and 2011, with most issues being addressed and abated. All documented fire incidents have been either false alarms or unintentional system activations, with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior issues such as graffiti and parking concerns, which are being handled by various city departments.
