1560 Great Hwy, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1560 Great Highway in the Outer Sunset, owned by Chan Kar Wei & Vera M Trust, has undergone several significant safety improvements since its construction in 1959. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 at a cost of $26,000, bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements, and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) as a Tier 3 retrofit. More recent electrical system upgrades were performed in 2022, including repairs to the existing 125-amp overhead service and installation of new service conduit and conductors.

The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, including the replacement of a corroded metal fire escape in 2007 (costing $18,000) and repairs to damaged stairs in 2000 ($7,000). While there was a building fire incident recorded with no civilian injuries, this appears to be the only significant incident on record. The property's maintenance and safety history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, though there have been recurring issues noted in the immediate vicinity of the building, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years.

These primarily concerned street cleaning matters, including reports of garbage, debris, and abandoned vehicles on or near the property. Recent complaints from 2023 and 2024 have included reports of sidewalk cleaning needs and illegal parking, though these appear to be external neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns. A routine housing inspection was conducted in 2002 with no active violations noted, and there have been no recorded building complaints since then.
