165 Duboce Ave, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 14-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 165 Duboce Avenue, owned by Duboce 100 LLC, was constructed in 1911 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2023, kitchen improvements were initiated in Unit 101, and the building underwent fire alarm system upgrades in 2022 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the addition of low-frequency sounders and sprinkler monitoring. Major seismic retrofit work was completed in 2015, including foundation bolting, installation of shearwalls, and associated structural improvements in multiple units costing over $42,000.

The building has experienced several safety inspections and complaints, particularly regarding fire safety equipment, including a 2022 violation for non-compliant fire extinguishers and exit maintenance issues, though these were subsequently abated. Historical violations from 2002-2003 related to unauthorized construction work and various safety concerns, including problems with hall fire extinguishers, exterior stairs, and storage room ceilings, were all resolved. The property has maintained regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, including multiple electrical panel upgrades (most recently in 2020), plumbing improvements such as water heater replacement, and various unit renovations including bathroom and kitchen updates.

Recent 311 calls (2023-2025) primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues, with some ongoing concerns about tree damage and street defects as of 2024. The building's fire safety record shows a few alarm system and extinguisher-related complaints, with the most recent being a resolved alarm system issue in August 2024. While there have been periodic violations and complaints over the years, most have been promptly addressed and abated, indicating regular attention to building maintenance and safety compliance.
