180 Duboce Ave, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 180 Duboce Avenue, constructed in 1915, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement was completed in July 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of new sounders, detectors, and monitoring equipment.

The building has also achieved compliance with mandatory seismic retrofitting requirements under San Francisco's Soft Story Program (Tier 3), completing $18,000 worth of work in 2017, though an active complaint regarding compliance was filed in October 2019. Recent maintenance includes window repairs and insulation work in February 2024, while past improvements show attention to unit renovations such as a 2019 bathroom remodel that included electrical upgrades and plumbing improvements. The building's history reveals several past concerns that were addressed, including a 2006 sewer overflow incident, multiple safety violations in 2003 relating to fire escape maintenance and storage area conditions, and an asbestos-related complaint in early 2024.

Historical permits show attention to major infrastructure improvements, including a 2009 installation of a 200-amp service meter and various routine maintenance permits. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to sidewalk and street conditions, with some relating to temporary moving permit requests, though some issues remain open as of early 2024, including a pavement defect and a sidewalk collapse issue reported in 2018. The property has generally demonstrated responsiveness to safety concerns and regulatory requirements, with most historical violations having been resolved, though ongoing monitoring of the Soft Story compliance status is warranted based on the active complaint from 2019.
