2430 Lake St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2430 Lake Street, built in 1915 and currently owned by the John Sun Revoc Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, the property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) to enhance seismic safety, with the work officially documented as complete in 2024.

In 2020, the building underwent stucco replacement on its south wall due to water damage, and a substantial $32,000 fire alarm system upgrade was issued in 2024 to improve safety features, including new manual pull stations, smoke detectors, and low-frequency audibles in all units. The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, with multiple complaints and corrections recorded between 2016 and 2023 regarding the sprinkler/standpipe systems and alarm systems. A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in late 2021, including issues with floor coverings, rodent infestation, windows, stairs, and plumbing fixtures, though these were all abated by March 2022.

Prior to these, the building underwent extensive unit renovations between 2013-2016, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 1, 3, 6, and 7, with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades. The property has had some historical issues with construction management, as evidenced by complaints in 2018 regarding seismic retrofit work and material handling. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to parking issues and street maintenance concerns, while two fire-related incidents were recorded (one for carbon monoxide, another for smoke removal) with no civilian injuries reported.
