105 Julian Ave, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 105 Julian Ave in the Inner Mission, owned by Isac & Eileen C Marchasin R and constructed in 1923, has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a seismic retrofit of its soft-story structure in 2016 at a cost of $88,000, achieving compliance with San Francisco's mandatory retrofit program. In 2019, a street space permit was issued, and between 2011-2012, the property underwent various safety improvements including the installation of handrails on rear stairways, repairs to guardrails, replacement of hallway glazing, and compliance with multiple housing violations related to fire safety, security, and exterior maintenance.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the years, most recently documented in 2021 with complaints about rodent infestations and garbage management under a garbage chute. A significant cluster of violations in 2016 required remediation of combustible storage, lead paint issues, exterior door self-closing devices, and light fixtures, all of which were abated by October 2016. Earlier infractions dating back to 2003-2011 included violations related to fire safety systems, security requirements, and ventilation issues.

The property has also experienced multiple fire alarm activations since 2015, though all were determined to be unintentional with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate ongoing issues with garbage management outside the building. The building's safety record shows active management of violations, with most issues being addressed in a relatively prompt manner, though maintenance challenges appear to persist in recent years.
