181-199 14th St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 181-199 14th Street in the Inner Mission is a 16-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Moreano 2000 Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably completing mandatory soft-story retrofits for both residential and commercial portions in 2022 (with costs of $100,000 and $20,000 respectively), achieving compliance with San Francisco building codes. Recent building modifications include telecommunications upgrades, with T-Mobile installations occurring in 2024, 2020, and 2019, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of the building's communication infrastructure.

The building has faced various compliance issues in recent years, including three active violations filed in March 2024 related to unauthorized commercial space modifications, fire safety requirements, and building permit requirements. Previous violations from 2022 included issues with lead paint, smoke alarms, and structural maintenance, though these were abated by September 2022. Recent fire safety inspections in December 2023 and December 2024 resulted in violations related to sleeping area requirements and extinguishers, though these issues were typically addressed promptly.

The property has undergone necessary infrastructure improvements, including a sewer lateral replacement in 2022 (estimated cost: $80,000). While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding exterior maintenance issues such as garbage, debris, and graffiti between October 2024 and January 2025, many of these cases were promptly resolved. As part of the Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, the building achieved completion status as a Tier 4 property, though historical records show cancelled retrofit permits from 2018. The building has a documented history of fire safety violations (2018-2024), though most have been resolved through corrective actions.
