2601 43rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 2601 43rd Avenue property is an 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1974, currently owned by Patterson 2000 Fmly Tr. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (with an initial 2017 permit cost of $80,000) and the ongoing replacement of Federal Pacific electrical panels across all units in September 2024, indicating attention to both structural and electrical safety upgrades. Historical maintenance records show window replacements in 2002 (28 units), a roofing project in 1993, and a scaffold installation in 2010, demonstrating regular upkeep.

The building experienced a cluster of fire safety violations in June 2002 related to fire escape access and maintenance, which were promptly addressed by July 2002. A 2015 complaint noted issues with leaks and window deterioration, though these appear to have been resolved. Recent history shows no active building violations or serious safety incidents, with only minor fire-related incidents recorded in 2016 (malfunctioning alarm) and 2017 (water/steam leak).

The property has generated numerous (over 20) 311 calls in recent months regarding sidewalk cleaning and debris management (2024), though these are primarily related to street maintenance rather than building-specific issues. The building's current compliance status shows completed soft-story work with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, and all necessary permits for electrical panel replacements have been either completed or issued as of September 2024. The property has maintained its 8-unit configuration and continuity of residential use, with regular inspections and responses to maintenance issues over the years.
