227 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, 10-unit apartment building at 227 Sanchez Street, owned by Mark E & Sophia S Cusing Re and constructed in 1925, has undergone several significant safety improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $150,000 and has recently addressed fire safety compliance with a fire alarm system upgrade in September 2024 costing $24,402, following a 2023 modification that included new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations noted in 2023-2024 including problems with fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and compliance documentation, though recent inspections have shown corrective actions being taken. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including window replacements in 2002 and roofing work in 1989 and 1999, though some tenant complaints have been recorded over the years.

Recent 311 calls between October 2023 and November 2024 have primarily concerned parking issues, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways, though these are parking enforcement matters rather than building-related concerns. A possible mold complaint was filed in 2019, and a 2011 complaint noted issues with interior paint and wall surfaces, but these appear to have been resolved. The property's two fire incidents on record (in 2021 and 2024) resulted in no civilian injuries, and the building has maintained its Tier 3 soft-story status, indicating full completion of required seismic improvements with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.
