1030 Lake St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1030 Lake Street in The Presidio, built in 1923, has undergone several significant safety improvements, most notably a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 with a cost of $72,000 to meet seismic safety requirements. Recent building improvements include a 200-amp electrical service upgrade completed in December 2020, though there was a prior violation in 2019 related to failure to comply with the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program.

The building has experienced recurring sewer issues in 2022, with multiple reports of 4-inch vent back-ups in March, May, and June, suggesting potential plumbing infrastructure challenges. Historical records show various maintenance work including foundation bolting (1995), dry rot removal (1995), and vinyl siding installation (1997). The building has undergone several routine inspections over the years, with notable violations recorded in December 2000 relating to security and safety requirements, including handrails, door viewers, and self-closing devices at exterior doors - all of which were addressed by January 2001.

A combustible materials issue was reported and corrected in September 2007. Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, including a damaged tree and recent street cleaning issues. While the building has required various repairs and upgrades over its lifetime, particularly focusing on seismic safety and electrical systems, the most pressing recent issues appear to be related to plumbing infrastructure challenges as evidenced by multiple sewer back-up reports in 2022.
