81-83 Woodward St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story multi-family residential building at 81-83 Woodward Street in the Inner Mission, owned by 81 Woodward LLC, was constructed in 1908 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant structural improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $30,000, along with associated seismic updates including fire-rated storage wall construction.

Multiple building violations were recorded in 2017, primarily addressing safety concerns related to blocked egress paths, combustible storage, and various maintenance issues, though these were all officially abated by July 2017. Recent findings from September 2024 have raised concerning health and safety issues, with active complaints regarding rodent problems and significant debris accumulation in and around the building, particularly in the basement and stair areas.

Prior to this, the building underwent various infrastructure updates, including the replacement of seven sub-panels above residential electrical meters in March 2024, boiler repairs in 2017, and stair repairs in response to building violations. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris in the vicinity, though most of these cases were resolved through standard municipal processes. Historical records show regular maintenance attention to elements like rear siding and balcony repairs, with the most recent noted planning work involving restoration of balconies and stairways, including the installation of new decorative railings to meet current code requirements.
