1401 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 18-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1401 10th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by the Paul & Susan Galassi Trust, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1927. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft story retrofitting in 2016-2017 (with costs nearly $300,000), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent building improvements include a complete roof replacement in late 2024 (cost: $85,000), though this project generated resident complaints about hazardous fumes and inadequate notifications.

The building has maintained an active fire safety maintenance schedule, with multiple fire alarm system upgrades and repairs between 2019-2024, including recent violations in 2023 related to sleeping area requirements and historical issues with sprinkler systems and extinguishers which were subsequently corrected. The property has a documented history of routine maintenance and system upgrades, including boiler and water heater replacements, and has addressed various housing code violations over the years. Notable past violations from 2001 and 2010 involved fire safety and lead paint concerns, which were resolved.

The building has experienced periodic issues with interior surfaces requiring repairs and maintenance, as documented in various housing inspections. Recent activity shows regular attention to building systems and infrastructure, though the most recent open violation regarding sleeping area requirements from November 2023 indicates an ongoing need for attention to fire safety compliance. Outside the building, there have been occasional issues with graffiti and general maintenance of public spaces, as documented through 311 calls, though these are typically addressed promptly by city services.
