10 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 10 10th Avenue, owned by the Belfer-levy Family Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and safety upgrades since its construction in 1924. Most notably, the building completed its soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3), including new footings and shearwalls at a cost of $70,000. The property has also received substantial fire safety improvements, including the installation of a new fire alarm system in 2019-2020 with pull stations, smoke detectors, and monitoring modules, though the building is not sprinklered as previously planned.

The building's plumbing systems have seen major updates, including a house trap replacement in 2021, new steam heating boiler installation in 2008, and complete recoppering of cold water piping in 2007. The building's history includes several maintenance issues that have been addressed over time, particularly concerning fire safety and egress requirements. A series of fire safety violations were documented in 2004, including issues with fire extinguishers, smoke enclosure doors, and combustible storage, though these were all abated by early 2020.

More recent concerns about egress issues in late 2019 were also addressed. The building has maintained its habitability through regular inspections and timely responses to violations, with routine apartment housing inspections documented in multiple years. Recent maintenance records show attention to building systems, including a 2022 boiler permit renewal and various infrastructure improvements. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as documented in 311 calls, including street cleaning, parking enforcement, and park maintenance matters, though these are external to the building itself.
