195 Collingwood St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 195 Collingwood St, owned by the Jay M Cutler Trust 2014 and constructed in 1907, has undergone significant improvements over the past few years, including mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2015-2016. The building completed its soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 building, which included ground floor improvements and the addition of a new dwelling unit. Recent electrical upgrades in 2022 involved moving Federal Pacific panels from closets to hallways and replacing them with new panels in all units, improving safety and access.

Between 2019 and 2020, units 2 and 3 received substantial renovations, including kitchen remodels, electrical upgrades, and new appliances, while the building also benefited from a new concrete deck and steps installation in 2017. The building has maintained a good safety record in recent years, with comprehensive fire safety improvements made in 2016, including the installation of a new fire alarm system and sprinkler modifications. Previous violations related to security and fire safety from 2007 were resolved by February 2008. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2000, 2007, and 2011, all of which were marked as not active.

Recent 311 calls in late 2024 primarily addressed street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues, while a collapsed sidewalk and curb defect reported in November 2024 were resolved by the city. The building's documented improvements, particularly the seismic retrofit, electrical upgrades, and fire safety enhancements, demonstrate ongoing maintenance and upgrading of safety systems. The property is now equipped with modern amenities and safety features, though recent reports of sidewalk and curb issues may require attention. Historical records show consistent maintenance and upgrading of units, including window replacements (2011-2012), reroofing (1999), and various interior improvements throughout the years.
