814-818 14th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 814-818 14th Street in Duboce Triangle, built in 1906 and currently owned by Alice Dudum Survivor's Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years. In 2020, all six apartments received new electrical panels to replace outdated Federal Pacific equipment, following earlier improvements including a 2019 roof replacement and a 2018 voluntary fire alarm upgrade that installed a new panel and low-frequency horns throughout the property. The building completed a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit in 2011, enhancing its structural integrity.

The property experienced notable violations in 2021-2022, primarily related to fire safety and maintenance issues. These included problems with the fire escape ladder, fire proofing materials, and interior/exterior paint conditions that raised lead hazard concerns. During this period, there was also a significant complaint filed in April 2022 regarding the garage being used for commercial storage, resulting in increased noise and congestion, though this issue appears to have been resolved.

Additional maintenance work has included addressing garbage receptacle placement and various security and access issues, all of which were abated by July 2022. While the building has had routine inspections and multiple improvement projects over the years, the most pressing recent concerns were primarily focused on fire safety systems and general maintenance compliance. The property has maintained a record of addressing violations and completing necessary upgrades, including a historical reroofing project from 1989, though more recent permits and work indicate ongoing attention to building systems and safety requirements.
