1300-1306 La Playa, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 13-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1300-1306 La Playa in the Outer Sunset, constructed in 1926, has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, with particular attention to seismic safety through the completion of a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2020, which cost $150,000 and achieved CFC certification. The building has a documented history of maintenance and upgrades, including a 2015 reroofing project costing $53,000, repair work in 2013 to address dry rot in staircase components, and significant plumbing system improvements in 2009-2011 involving the installation of new domestic hot water systems and a steam heating boiler.

The property experienced a cluster of fire safety-related issues in the 2018-2022 period, with multiple fire complaints regarding alarm systems, extinguishers, and combustible materials, though all were subsequently corrected. A notable routine inspection in 2002 revealed various safety concerns that were addressed by July 2003, including issues with the central alarm system, fire escape ladders, weather proofing on siding, and various security requirements. The building's fire safety systems have generally maintained compliance, with only one documented violation related to exit door locking in 2005.

The most recent maintenance record shows attention to both fire safety and structural integrity, with the soft-story retrofit demonstrating compliance with San Francisco building codes. The surrounding area has seen various recent municipal service requests including parking enforcement, street cleaning, and encampment removal, though these external factors are not directly related to building conditions. The property has maintained an active response to building and fire safety concerns, with no open violations or outstanding complaints as of the latest records.
