30 Gardenside Dr, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 30 Gardenside Drive in Twin Peaks, owned by Karen Griggi, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1967. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (as a Tier 3 property), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has a history of regular roof maintenance, with permits issued for re-roofing work in 1994, 1999, 2000, 2006, and 2016, showing consistent upkeep of this critical building component.

In 2003, the building experienced fire damage to one unit (Apt #12), which was subsequently repaired, and there have been multiple instances of deck maintenance issues documented in 2003 that were addressed. The building's safety systems have been the subject of several inspections and complaints over the years, particularly related to fire safety equipment. A cluster of violations was documented in March 2003, including issues with fire escape ladders, fire extinguishers, exterior decks, and gas shutoff tools, all of which were abated by May 2003. More recent fire safety concerns were raised in October 2024 regarding exit maintenance, though this complaint was found to have no merit.

The building underwent a facade alteration in 2000, and in December 2015, there were tenant buyouts totaling $10,000 for two tenants. Recent 311 calls have primarily dealt with external matters such as sidewalk maintenance and waste management, with some related to nearby events. While there have been recurring issues with fire alarm systems in 2009 (two complaints), both were promptly addressed, and fire exit maintenance has been monitored through various inspections. The building has recently had multiple compliance matters filed in January 2024, including issues with the fire escape ladder and compliance affidavit requirements, though these were subsequently marked as not active.
