550 14th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 15-unit, three-story apartment building at 550 14th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Scarabosio Family Rev Trust, was constructed in 1928 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most notably, it completed a mandatory soft story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $100,560, and received major electrical system upgrades in December 2022 with the installation of a new 400-amp main service and 16-meter socket.

Two fire-related violations were recorded and addressed between 2016 and 2023 regarding fire extinguishers and alarm systems, with the most recent fire complaint in 2022 being resolved. The building has experienced recurring electrical and safety issues, including a 2024 complaint about a dilapidated steel ventilation stack with falling debris hazard, and a 2021 plumbing issue involving sink backups and inadequate electrical outlets. The property has undergone various unit-specific renovations, including comprehensive remodeling of units 104 and 105 in 2013 (kitchen, bath, windows, and electrical systems), and completed essential maintenance work such as roof replacement (2012) and stucco repairs (2012).

Multiple building violations were issued in 2019 related to fire safety, lead paint hazards, and various maintenance issues, though these were all abated by August 2021. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as graffiti and sidewalk cleaning, with multiple reports of garbage and debris needing attention. While the building has had its share of maintenance and safety concerns over the years, most documented issues have been addressed through proper channels, though some recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
