25 States St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 25 States Street in Corona Heights, owned by the Michael Dahir Dudum Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1929. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program (designated as Tier 3) and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), demonstrating compliance with contemporary seismic safety standards.

Other substantial renovations include a $70,000 seismic retrofit project initiated in 2017 that involved garage reinforcement, new strong walls, and foundation improvements, as well as multiple roofing projects completed in 1992 and 2002 (totaling over $26,000), and a 2004 electrical upgrade replacing fuses with circuit breakers in all apartment units. The building has a documented history of safety and maintenance issues, particularly in 2002 when multiple violations were recorded regarding fire safety systems, stairs, fire escape maintenance, and combustible storage in the garage - though all these violations were abated by October 21, 2002. A potential illegal unit and gas safety concern was reported in 1995 but was resolved within a week.

More recently, the building underwent a routine inspection in 2011 and received a soft-story Tier III designation in 2022, which was resolved by January 2023. Emergency response records show several incidents, including a gas leak (without reported injuries) and various medical assists, though no serious incidents have been recorded in recent years. The location has experienced ongoing external urban challenges as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls in late 2024 relating to garbage, debris, and encampments in the vicinity, though these are primarily neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns.
