300-310 Douglass St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 300-310 Douglass Street, owned by 406-10-12 Realty Corp, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1924. The property completed mandatory seismic upgrades in 2015 as a Tier 3 soft-story retrofit with Simpson moment frames, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent major improvements include comprehensive interior renovations in 2019 (bathroom and kitchen updates costing $72,196) and electrical upgrades throughout the building, including rewiring and installation of new sub-panels in multiple units.

The building has experienced several maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly in 2018-2019, including plumbing violations (leaking drainage pipe, electrical permit issues, and the need for furnace repairs), which were subsequently addressed. Historical records show various building improvements and repairs, including a sewer lateral replacement in 2012 and reroofing work in 2004. Past complaints indicate recurring maintenance challenges, such as mold issues (2006), inspections revealing peeling paint, and various plumbing and electrical concerns.

The building's recent history shows active 311 calls primarily related to exterior issues such as sidewalk cleaning and parking violations, with some recent concerns about flooding (March 2024) and graffiti (December 2024). The property has successfully completed all major building permits, including electrical system upgrades, bathroom modernization, and seismic retrofitting, indicating active management and maintenance of key building systems. However, there are several active violations related to smoke detection compliance, dryer venting, and lead paint remediation requirements from 2019 that may require further attention.
