1468 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 12-unit apartment building at 1468 Folsom Street, constructed in 1908, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $113,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

Recent years have seen a pattern of fire safety violations, with the most recent incident in January 2024 concerning operating without a permit, and earlier violations for blocked exits and multiple fire code violations in 2019. The building has experienced periodic water-related issues, including water intrusion complaints in 2017 and multiple plumbing problems documented between 2000 and 2005. The property has received various updates and repairs over the years, including window replacement in 2006 with dual-glazed vinyl windows, mold remediation work in multiple units, and exterior maintenance improvements.

Building safety concerns have been addressed through mandatory compliance measures, such as stair tread replacement in 2011 and various fire system maintenance requirements. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to structural and safety issues, though some recent concerns have emerged regarding building permits and fire safety compliance. Current 2024-2025 records indicate ongoing external maintenance challenges, with multiple reports of debris, graffiti, and street cleaning issues in the vicinity of the building, though these are primarily external concerns not directly related to building habitability.
