121-125 Duboce Ave, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 121-125 Duboce Avenue, owned by Bernard K & Janet I Moy, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2015, which included the installation of new plywood, footings, and holddowns, bringing the property into compliance with San Francisco's Soft Story program requirements.

That same year, the electrical system received a substantial upgrade, with a new 200-amp main service installed along with individual 60-amp subpanels for each unit. More recently, the building has faced some building code compliance issues, with multiple violations issued in April 2023 regarding fire safety requirements, including fire extinguisher maintenance, fire escape ladder condition, gas utility shutoff tools, and related documentation. These violations are currently active, with final warning letters issued in May 2023.

The building has a history of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a 2013 complaint that documented interior issues such as mold/mildew, damaged ceilings, and floor covering problems, though these were subsequently addressed. Regular routine safety inspections have been conducted over the years, including 2003, 2009, and a notable investigation in 2013 that identified various interior surface and fire safety concerns. Three street space permits were issued in 2013, and the most recent tier 3 soft-story retrofit work has been completed with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.
