595 22nd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building at 595 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by T & A Drolapas & Sons Lp, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1926. Most notably, the building completed its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2017 to comply with seismic safety requirements, demonstrating investment in structural safety.

Other major improvements include a roof recovery project in 2007 ($18,000), the replacement of the steam boiler in 2016, and various fire safety corrections through routine inspections. The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related issues, particularly in 2003-2007 when it faced several violations regarding fire escapes, egress obstructions, combustible storage, and alarm system repairs, though these were all subsequently abated by January 2007. Recent maintenance and safety records indicate ongoing attention to building systems, with the most recent fire safety complaint about extinguishers documented in October 2023 being promptly corrected.

The building's plumbing systems have also received attention, with complaints about radiator leaks and water issues occurring in 2007-2012, including a concerning incident in 2012 with mold, electrical issues, and drainage problems in one unit. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) around the property have primarily concerned external issues like sidewalk cleaning, pavement defects, and utility-related matters, rather than internal building conditions. The property appears to have maintained active compliance with fire safety regulations since 2017, though there have been recurring fire safety concerns documented through inspections and complaints, including issues with fire extinguishers, exits, and alarm systems between 2016 and 2023, all of which were generally addressed promptly.
