1600-1610 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 1600-1610 Anza Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Juan Carlos Guerrero, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1910. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016-2017, which included engineering upgrades costing $100,000, installation of new shear walls, removal and replacement of water heaters, and associated plumbing and electrical work. The retrofit project also involved replacing six Federal Pacific panels and garage wiring to accommodate seismic safety improvements.

In 2005, the property underwent extensive renovations including bathroom and kitchen remodeling across multiple units, addition of a basement laundry room (though this permit expired), and significant electrical upgrades including new sub-panels, lights, and switches. The building's history shows previous fire safety concerns, with multiple violations documented in 2003 related to fire escape maintenance, combustible storage, and fire extinguisher requirements. However, these violations were officially abated by March 2005.

A complaint regarding unpermitted interior remodeling was filed and resolved in 2005. Recent activity at the property has mainly consisted of parking-related issues, with multiple citations issued between 2024 and 2025 for illegal parking, driveway blocking, and parking on sidewalks, though these are external rather than building-specific concerns. The building's soft-story retrofit completion has been acknowledged with a Certificate of Final Completion, indicating the major seismic safety improvements have been properly finalized and inspected.
