2840 Judah St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2840 Judah St in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Gary & Maggie M Chew Revoc, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1964. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofits in 2017 and 2019, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements (Tier 3), which included the installation of steel moment frames, tie beams, and shear walls at the ground floor.

The building has a history of plumbing and water pressure issues, with multiple complaints between 2008-2009 regarding inadequate water pressure affecting showers, and violations related to hot water storage capacity. A routine housing inspection in 2011 and a complaint about possible illegal units in 2009 (resolved, confirming 6 units) are also on record. Earlier building improvements include the replacement of 14 aluminum windows with vinyl insulated frames in 2003, and some minor maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, such as sidewalk defects, illegal postings, and graffiti removal, all of which have been resolved.

The property experienced several fire safety-related violations in 2001, including issues with the fire escape drop ladder and combustible materials, though all were promptly abated within one month. While these historical issues suggest periodic maintenance needs, the building's most recent major work - the completion of the soft-story retrofit - indicates compliance with current seismic safety requirements. The property has consistently addressed violations and complaints in accordance with building regulations, with no active violations or complaints currently on file.
