536 14th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 536 14th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by the Irma Scarabosio Revoc Trust, has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades since its construction in 1936. Most recently, in December 2022, a new 400-amp main service with 10 meter sockets and circuit breaker panels was installed, following a 2014 installation of a 240V electric car charger and sub-panel.

The building faced multiple safety and compliance issues in December 2019, resulting in violations related to fire safety and building maintenance that were gradually resolved by August 2021. These violations included problems with fire escape ladders, fire extinguisher maintenance, egress obstruction, smoke detector installation, gas utility shutoff tools, door self-closing devices, and structural maintenance. Earlier building history includes a 2012 reroofing project costing $33,000, a 1987 code compliance upgrade, and a concerning 1995 incident involving unsecured outside stairs and obstructed emergency access.

Recent issues have included a September 2023 alarm system inspection that required correction, and sewer backup incidents in July 2021. The property has maintained regular maintenance activities, as evidenced by multiple service requests being resolved through Recology and other city services between 2018 and 2023, including responses to reports of abandoned items, loose garbage, and sidewalk cleaning needs. While the building experienced significant safety violations in 2019, the subsequent remediation efforts and recent infrastructure upgrades suggest active management response to building maintenance needs.
