130 Gardenside Dr, San Francisco, CA 94131

The five-story, 17-unit multi-family residential building at 130 Gardenside Drive in Twin Peaks, owned by Alan & Jenny Tan Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades since its construction in 1975. Most recently, in January 2025, the building began work to upgrade its fire alarm system to meet current California Building and Fire Code requirements, with the installation of new monitoring equipment and safety devices costing $65,175. This follows a pattern of attention to fire safety, including a 2017 fire alarm panel replacement and the building's completion of mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015, demonstrating compliance with important safety regulations.

The building has faced recurring issues with water damage over the years, with documented leaks affecting multiple units between 2004 and 2007, including repairs to balconies and exterior walls. A cluster of safety violations was recorded in 2003 related to security, fire safety, and building maintenance, though all were resolved by March 2004. More recent fire safety violations include an open violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements.

The building has maintained regular housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspection recorded in January 2023. While there have been historical complaints about on-site management availability in 1997 and some maintenance issues in 2011 (including a kitchen fire), these appear to have been addressed. The property has also undergone regular maintenance work, including reroofing projects in 1997 and 2009, and a significant soft-story retrofit to improve seismic resilience.
