1010 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 13-unit apartment building at 1010 Anza Street, owned by Raymond C & Irene C Low Rev, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1972 in the Inner Richmond neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing current problems being repeated elevator malfunctions and multiple hot water outages in January 2024, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. While the building underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (completed at a cost of $80,000) and is currently in the process of upgrading its fire alarm system (as evidenced by a May 2024 permit for comprehensive fire safety improvements costing $44,357), there have been recurring fire safety concerns documented through fire complaints and violations.

These include a recently issued violation for alarm system maintenance from April 2024, as well as historical issues with fire escape maintenance, extinguishers, and emergency lighting that have generally been resolved through corrective actions. The building's recent history shows an emerging pattern of mechanical and infrastructure concerns, particularly regarding the elevator system, which has been the subject of multiple complaints in 2025. Additionally, there were significant building-wide hot water supply issues reported in early 2024, during which tenants experienced multiple outages over several weeks.

The property has also had its share of violations and complaints related to building maintenance and safety systems, though many of these have been addressed through proper channels. Historical contexts show that the building has required attention to various systems including its fire alarm, fire escape, and elevator systems, with the most recent fire system upgrade indicating an investment in addressing past deficiencies. The property achieved completion of its soft-story retrofit requirements, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety regulations, though it remains on record as a Tier 3 property which is noteworthy for prospective tenants.
