10 Glendale St, San Francisco, CA 94114

10 Glendale Street is a three-story, 11-unit multi-family residential building located in the Twin Peaks neighborhood, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Herscowitz Lvg Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over recent years, most notably a fire incident in 2018 that caused extensive damage to multiple floors and several units, requiring comprehensive repairs completed in 2019 including electrical, plumbing, and structural work.

The building completed its mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status, with final upgrades to the fire alarm system implemented in 2023. Recent maintenance and improvement activities have focused on unit upgrades and safety compliance, including the conversion of several units (102, 204, 308, 307, and 411) from kitchens to bedrooms or studies, bathroom rehabs, and installation of in-unit laundry facilities between 2021-2024.

Significant concerns have emerged regarding building systems, including an active complaint about a non-functioning elevator filed in November 2024, recent issues with raw sewage backup in November 2023, and multiple electrical problems reported in May 2023 related to circuit breakers and wiring. The building's common areas and safety systems have received attention, with recent work including a new roof deck railing installation (2022), car port re-stuccoing (2023), and various fire safety improvements. Multiple violations related to building safety, including fire escape maintenance and utility shutoff requirements, were recorded in early 2024, though their current status is marked as "Not active." While many recent permits and complaints have been resolved, attention to building systems and maintenance continues to be a priority, as evidenced by ongoing complaints and work orders.
