175 23rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 175 23rd Avenue, constructed in 1964 and currently owned by William Pacific Enterprises, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance challenges over the past decades. Most recently, in October 2023, substantial updates are underway, including bathroom and kitchen remodeling ($55,000), electrical system upgrade from 60 to 100 amps, and associated plumbing work.

The building previously completed important safety work, including a soft-story retrofit in 2017 ($150,000) to address seismic concerns, though it remains classified as non-compliant under Tier 3 status as of October 2023. Other notable improvements include window replacement in 2020 ($24,000) and comprehensive interior updates in 2016 ($28,000) featuring kitchen renovation, bathroom modifications, and electrical improvements. The building's maintenance history reveals several tenant concerns that have been addressed over time, including heating system replacements (2015), fire safety violations in 2004 and 2015 that were subsequently abated, and various housing enforcement complaints related to heating, smoke detectors, and pest issues between 2004 and 2019.

Parking enforcement records from 2021-2023 show multiple instances of driveway blocking difficulties, though these are external to the building itself. A minor cooking-related fire incident was recorded, but no civilian injuries were reported. While the building has generally received necessary updates and addressed safety concerns through various permits and improvements, the outstanding non-compliant soft-story status represents the most significant ongoing building code issue as of October 2023.
