1409 Shrader St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1409 Shrader Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by Ali & Fatemah Khostovan. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (with a cost of $15,000), bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building has seen substantial unit improvements, including a comprehensive renovation of Unit #5 in 2013 (involving bathroom, kitchen, electrical, and plumbing upgrades), and several other unit-specific renovations and repairs across different years. A notable concern arose in early 2020 with complaints about unpermitted construction work in the garage area, involving framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work, though these complaints are now listed as not active. The building has experienced various maintenance issues that required attention over the years, including violations related to heating system requirements, water heater problems, and electrical issues.

Multiple units have undergone improvements, including window replacements, bathroom renovations, and kitchen upgrades. The property was involved in a "Routine" inspection in 2011, and several permits were filed to address violations, including work completed in response to historical lead paint concerns. The building's infrastructure has been maintained generally well, with major systems receiving attention as needed, though there have been periodic issues with common area access and appliance functionality. Parking-related complaints have been recorded outside the direct residential concerns, and the building's soft-story retrofit has been successfully completed, demonstrating compliance with current building safety requirements.
