45-47 Pearl St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 45-47 Pearl Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Barsha Properties LLC, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2017-2018, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofit work, including the installation of a Ufer grounding system, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has a history of addressing structural concerns, including rear exterior stair repairs in 2006 (following a 2004 complaint about rotted support structures), and the replacement of water-damaged posts in 2004.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety compliance issues over its history, with clusters of violations particularly evident in 2004 and 2006. In 2004, multiple violations were noted regarding security features, including broken windows and inadequate door viewers, while 2006 violations included problems with stairs, fire safety features, and window damage. However, all these violations were subsequently resolved, with final abatements recorded in 2004 and 2006 respectively. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2004 and 2009, and has participated in ongoing maintenance and safety compliance programs.

More recent history shows the building has addressed its major structural and safety concerns, as evidenced by the completed seismic retrofit program. The property has experienced several parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued for blocking driveways between 2021 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself. Minor infrastructure issues have been reported through 311 calls, including a collapsed sidewalk (reported in 2021) which appears to be an ongoing concern based on its "Open accepted" status. The building is classified as a Tier 4 Soft Story property, with the seismic retrofit work now completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, indicating that it has met all requirements for seismic safety under San Francisco's mandatory retrofit program.
