236 Douglass St, San Francisco, CA 94114

Located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, 236 Douglass Street is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1959, currently owned by Jeffrey T Antonchuk Sep Ppr. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements, most notably a comprehensive seismic retrofit completed in 2016 at a cost of $80,000, which included the installation of steel moment frames, new foundation work, and electrical grounding improvements. In 2019, the building required dry-rot repairs to both siding and framing at the awning roof, along with the replacement of a wall furnace in unit #1, totaling approximately $3,500.

The property has received a Tier 3 Soft-Story retrofit designation, with all required work completed and a certificate of final completion issued. The building's history includes several building violations and complaints, particularly between 2003 and 2007, relating primarily to fire safety and security issues. Notable concerns included problems with fire escape maintenance, fire proofing materials, smoke enclosure door closers, security gate issues, and interior surface maintenance.

All these violations were eventually abated by May 2003 or by June 2007. More recent issues have included two sewage backup incidents (2024 and 2012), with the most recent being documented and resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. The property has also experienced various maintenance matters in the surrounding area, such as garbage and debris issues which have been periodically addressed by city services. A fire complaint regarding weeds and grass was filed in late 2022 but was determined to have no merit upon investigation.
