965 Alvarado St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The six-unit residential building at 965 Alvarado Street in Noe Valley, owned by Alev Courtney Lynn, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1959. Most recently, in late 2022, fiber cement siding was installed on the lower foundation of the left side of the building at a cost of $20,813, and a building compliance affidavit was addressed in early 2023. The property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (Tier 3) to comply with San Francisco building codes, demonstrating attention to structural safety.

Major renovations were performed in 2008-2009, including comprehensive remodeling of units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, which encompassed kitchen and bathroom updates along with electrical and plumbing upgrades totaling over $120,000. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including reroofing work in 2008, concrete repairs, and addressing dry rot issues in various units. While there were multiple building code violations recorded in 2001 related to fire safety and other safety concerns, all were resolved by mid-2003.

A cluster of violations and a complaint about common areas filed in November 2022 regarding safety tools and documentation were resolved by March 2023. External maintenance issues have been relatively minimal, with the most recent concerns being routine matters such as graffiti removal (2022) and various 311 calls primarily related to street-related services. The building has maintained active compliance with city requirements, including the completion of the soft-story retrofit and various safety upgrades, suggesting an ongoing commitment to maintaining building standards and resident safety.
