1045 Cabrillo St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit apartment building at 1045 Cabrillo Street in the Inner Richmond district, owned by Half Dome Capital Llc, has undergone significant renovations and faced several compliance issues over the years. Built in 1921, this 3-story multi-family residential building completed a substantial upgrade in 2019, which included the addition of two Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on the garage floor, installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building, and major electrical upgrades including a new 200-amp service system. The building underwent extensive plumbing work in 2014-2019, including kitchen and bathroom renovations in all units, installation of new appliances, and replacement of outdated boiler systems.

However, there have been recurring boiler permit issues, with the most recent violation filed in May 2024 still showing as active. The property has a history of periods of vacancy and maintenance challenges, particularly during the 2012-2013 period when it was classified as vacant/abandoned with multiple code violations. During this time, there were also complaints regarding unauthorized lead paint removal work and improper containment practices.

The building has completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 building, receiving Certificate of Final Completion in December 2021. While recent building permits and improvements suggest active management, the persistent boiler permit compliance issues and the history of vacancy-related violations warrant attention. The building's systems were thoroughly upgraded in 2019 to meet current safety standards, including a new fire alarm system, sprinkler monitoring, and electrical service improvements, indicating current ownership's commitment to maintaining the property to modern standards.
