301-319 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 301-319 Valencia Street property is a 3-story, 26-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926 and owned by O'brien-kiernan Investment. The building has undergone significant safety and accessibility improvements in recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2019 at a cost of $769,358, and ongoing fire system upgrades as of January 2024 to meet San Francisco Fire Department requirements, including new power supply panels and horns in all units. Several major infrastructure projects have been completed between 2020-2023, including the installation of new boilers, comprehensive plumbing upgrades for bathrooms and kitchens, and electrical system improvements.

The building has experienced past issues with compliance to commercial storefront regulations in mid-2022 and boiler operation permits between 2020-2022, though these violations have been marked as abated. Recent fire safety inspections between 2023-2024 have identified and resolved several issues, including concerns with sleeping area requirements and exit maintenance. The property is currently facing an open violation for sleeping area requirements issued in December 2023.

Several 311 calls in early 2025 have been logged regarding graffiti and debris, some of which are still open, while the building's fire incident history shows mostly routine alarm system activations with no civilian injuries recorded. The property has made significant investments in infrastructure improvements, including plans to add accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as per local ordinances, though these permits were filed in 2020 and their current status needs verification. The building's soft-story retrofit was classified as Tier 4 and has been completed per Code requirements.
