4151 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 3-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building at 4-14 Eureka Street in Corona Heights, built in 1904, has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the years. Most notably, the property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 under San Francisco Building Code Chapter 34B, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements as a Tier 4 building. Recent improvements in 2024 include comprehensive commercial updates with plumbing and electrical work to support a new deli and coffee station, though these modifications occurred in an adjacent retail space at 4151 17th Street rather than within the residential building itself.

The property has a documented history of addressing various maintenance issues, including multiple dry rot repairs in the 1990s and a reroofing project in 1997. The building experienced several violations and complaints in the early 2000s, all of which were resolved by 2005, including issues related to roof debris, stairs requiring repair, and security system certification. Fire safety systems have been actively maintained, with the most recent violation regarding the alarm system being abated in March 2019.

While there have been multiple alarm activations recorded (mostly related to system malfunctions), no civilian injuries have ever been reported. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as garbage and debris, illegal postings, and sidewalk parking concerns, which have all been addressed through standard municipal procedures. The building's current owner, Edward C Sins Trustee Trust, has generally complied with all major regulatory requirements, including the 2016 soft-story retrofit and various building permits for maintenance and improvements.
