54-56 Woodward St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story multi-family residential building at 54-56 Woodward Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1907 and classified as a TIC Building with 6 units, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $50,000, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2017 costing $7,480, and regular maintenance has been addressed through multiple building permits.

The property underwent substantial unit improvements in early 2010, with several units receiving major remodels including electrical upgrades, as evidenced by multiple completed permits for unit work. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention between 2004-2010, including violations related to heat systems, paint conditions, and various interior maintenance needs, though all these violations were ultimately abated by February 2010. More recent history shows improved maintenance compliance, with the most recent building inspection issues being resolved promptly.

The property has maintained its soft-story retrofit compliance as a Tier 4 building, with the work completed and final inspection passed. Recent 311 calls from 2024 predominantly relate to street cleaning matters outside the building, including reports of garbage, graffiti, and sidewalk conditions, which have all been addressed through standard municipal processes. The most recent building-related issue appears to be a hazardous materials report from March 2024 that remains open.
