4612-4620 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94117

This two-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building located at 4612-4620 17th St in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood was built in 1909 and has undergone several significant improvements to maintain safety and compliance with current building standards. Most recently, in September 2024, the building received a complete reroofing at a cost of $29,140.

The building successfully completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (designated as Tier 3) at a cost of $60,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Other notable infrastructure improvements include a new house trap and partial sewer replacement completed in 2021, and the repair of shower room water leakage in 2007. The building has experienced periodic inspection-related activities, with three routine inspections conducted in 1996, 2000, and 2006, with the latter addressing various safety concerns including fire alarm system repairs, fire sprinkler modifications, and gas meter requirements, all of which were satisfactorily resolved by April 2007.

A documented elevator malfunction occurred from June 2013 to March 2015, which was eventually corrected. Recent external issues have primarily involved minor matters such as illegal postings, graffiti, and street maintenance concerns, with the most recent being reports of amplified sound from August 2024. The property's plumbing and electrical systems have required attention over the years, notably in 2000 when multiple violations regarding water heaters and fire safety equipment were recorded and subsequently addressed by April 2001.
