430 44th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 15-unit, three-story apartment building at 430 44th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Goosby Family LLC and built in 1964, has undergone several significant safety improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) at a cost of $50,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building experienced a cluster of fire safety violations in December 2004, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by January 2005, including issues with smoke enclosure doors, fire escape ladder maintenance, and combustible storage.

These historical violations were resolved, and a subsequent 2017 fire system inspection noted corrected conditions related to the sprinkler/standpipe systems. Recent concerns have emerged regarding maintenance issues, with a July 2023 complaint from a tenant about a damaged bathroom ceiling hole and mold, along with an apparently malfunctioning gas stove. The building has also experienced recurring noise complaints, with five reported incidents between 2020 and 2022.

While the building's infrastructure has seen periodic maintenance, including reroofing in 2014 and gas line work in 2012, there is one active maintenance issue as of 2023. The property has been generally well-managed in terms of addressing violations, as evidenced by the prompt response to historical fire safety citations. Other recent service requests have primarily involved external matters such as sidewalk conditions and parking enforcement, rather than building-specific issues.
