50 Gardenside Dr, San Francisco, CA 94131

50 Gardenside Drive is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1966, containing 14 units and currently owned by the Georgine Dixon Property Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a mandatory seismic retrofit of its soft-story structure completed in 2017 at a cost of $20,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has experienced recurring roofing work, with multiple reroofing projects completed in 1989, 1994, 2005, 2007, and 2011, showing regular maintenance of this critical building element.

The property has faced various safety and maintenance issues, particularly regarding fire safety systems and building egress. In March 2003, multiple violations were recorded including the need to recharge fire extinguishers, repair fire escape drop ladders, and address issues with exterior decks, though these were all resolved by May 2003. More recently, in January 2024, the building received violations regarding fire escape maintenance and compliance documentation, which were abated by February 2024.

The building has also experienced three fire-related complaints regarding alarm systems and exit maintenance between 2017 and 2021, with one resulting in corrected conditions. Additionally, there have been several 311 calls between 2022 and 2024 primarily related to parking issues, sidewalk maintenance, and debris, though these are external to the building itself. The property underwent a facade alteration in 2000, and records show regular updates to maintain building safety standards, including active compliance with San Francisco's soft-story retrofit requirements.
