180 Beaver St, San Francisco, CA 94114

This 2-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building located at 180 Beaver St in Corona Heights was built in 1960 and is currently owned by Dennis C Stephens 1995 Revo. The building underwent a significant seismic upgrade in 2016, completing a soft story retrofit valued at $130,000, which included the installation of shear walls and moment frames in compliance with San Francisco's soft story ordinance. Other recent improvements include the installation of Ufer grounding in 2016, and the resolution of a major safety complaint regarding gas utility shutoff tools in 2022-2023.

The building has a documented history of safety and maintenance issues, particularly in 2002, when multiple violations were recorded including problems with fire safety systems, security requirements, and deck maintenance, all of which were abated by September 2002. The property experienced significant challenges in 2013, with multiple complaints regarding common area conditions, including reports of a potentially unauthorized occupant and lack of basic services such as heat and water. An illegal unit investigation was documented during this period.

Earlier issues from 1996 involved heating system problems and water leaks that required attention. More recent inspections and improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and safety upgrades, though there are current concerns about sidewalk conditions as evidenced by a July 2024 "collapsed sidewalk" report that remains open. The building's fire safety systems have been updated over the years, including a fire alarm panel replacement in 2007, though there is one recorded smoke detector activation due to malfunction. The property has maintained compliance with various safety upgrades, as evidenced by its Tier 3 soft story completion status and issuance of Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), indicating that the seismic safety requirements have been met.
