This three-story multi-family residential building, located at 536-560 Irving Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1908 and contains 12 units with commercial space. The building has undergone significant safety improvements in recent years, including mandatory seismic retrofitting as a soft-story building (completed in 2019 at a cost of $90,000) and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in late 2023-2024. The recent fire safety improvements included the installation of multiple heat detectors, smoke detectors, and manual pull stations throughout the building, with the most recent work completed at a cost of $5,454 in September 2024.

Currently, the building faces several active maintenance issues that require attention. These include concerns about lead paint (filed in January 2024), electrical system deficiencies, exterior weatherproofing issues, and the need for smoke/carbon monoxide detector compliance documentation (filed in March 2024). A vacant storefront space has also been noted as of 2020.

The property has undergone routine inspections over the years, with the most recent significant inspections occurring in 2003 and 2009. Recent maintenance activities have focused on addressing the building's fire safety systems, with the fire alarm panel replacement and associated system upgrades completing in 2023-2024 at a total cost of approximately $24,554. The building's management, under Lucky Zeus LLC, has completed the mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements and maintains fire safety systems, though several active violations related to general maintenance and building systems require resolution. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance challenges as evidenced by 311 calls, including incidents of graffiti, illegal postings, and sidewalk cleaning issues, though these are primarily street-level concerns not directly related to the building's residential units.
