25 Glendale St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 11-unit multi-family residential building at 25 Glendale St in Twin Peaks, owned by the Janice Chang Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1961. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $102,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

Recent renovations have focused on individual units, with comprehensive upgrades to kitchens and bathrooms in Units 1 (2019), 2 (2020), and 7 (2015), including electrical and plumbing improvements to bring systems up to code. The building has received attention to its basic infrastructure, including reroofing work in 2008 and 2009, and an underground electrical conversion in 2006. Several concerning issues have been recorded in the building's history, particularly regarding water damage and mold problems.

In 2010, multiple complaints documented extensive mold issues throughout Unit 7, including problems with water leakage and rotting materials, while earlier violations in 2003 involved fire safety concerns such as egress obstruction and combustible storage (all of which were abated). More recently, in January 2024, building inspectors noted the need for compliance documentation and issues with the fire escape drop ladder, though these complaints were subsequently marked as not active. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to individual units and major building systems, though the pattern of water-related issues, particularly in Unit 7, raises historical concerns about moisture management.
