4135 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 4135 17th Street in Corona Heights, owned by J S Aw Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant safety improvements over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014, which included the installation of a steel frame behind the garage door and reinforcement of first and second floors, achieving Tier 3 compliance. Two important fire safety upgrades were made in 2021, including the installation of low-frequency sounders and radio monitoring for the fire alarm system, representing an $11,000 investment in building safety.

The building has also received regular maintenance, including window replacements in 2012 (six double-glass windows facing the street) and various roofing and siding improvements dating back to 1997. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2002, 2010, and 2019, with no significant violations noted in the most recent records. While there have been three fire-related incidents in the building's history, all were either unintentional alarm transmissions or smoke detector activations with no actual fires or civilian injuries.

Recent external maintenance issues have primarily involved street-level concerns, with multiple reports of graffiti and abandoned furniture in 2024, though these were promptly addressed by city services. A plumbing issue from 1995 regarding a leaking toilet in the lobby area was resolved within five days. The property appears to be well-maintained, with all major safety upgrades completed, though recent 311 calls suggest some ongoing exterior maintenance needs in the immediate vicinity of the building.
