1000 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1000 Cole St is a three-story, multi-family residential building with 7 units, constructed in 1907, and owned by Paul Albert Disterheft Exem. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years, with the most recent projects in 2023 including dry rot repair and reroofing. A major renovation in 2022 involved substantial interior modifications including bathroom conversions, kitchen remodeling, and the installation of new electrical systems with recessed lighting and GFCI receptacles.

The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program in 2015, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Historical records show the building has addressed various maintenance and safety concerns, including prior violations related to fire escape ladders and exit door locks, though these were resolved in 2003. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate some ongoing infrastructure issues in the area, including multiple flooding reports and sewer-related complaints, though these appear to be street-level issues rather than building-specific problems.

The property has maintained active compliance with building codes and safety requirements, with no recent violations or complaints related to the building itself. The attached retail/commercial space has undergone various permitted changes over the years, including restaurant-related modifications and sidewalk encroachments for tables and chairs, most recently related to a limited restaurant use permit. All major building systems, including plumbing and electrical, have received appropriate updates and maintenance, as evidenced by the numerous permits for system upgrades and repairs.
