209 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The four-story multi-family residential building at 209 Sanchez Street, owned by the Hurwitz Family Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1905 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably completing its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2020 (with the final completion certificate now issued), which included multiple revisions to the seismic design. In 2020, Unit A received substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling $100,000.

The building has experienced some construction-related issues, particularly during 2020-2021, with complaints regarding floor shifting, cracks, and debris during the renovation period. Earlier maintenance history shows various improvements including exterior stair repairs (2002-2003), window replacements, and bathroom renovations. The building has had several routine inspections and complaints over the years, with the most recent being a vacant commercial storefront issue in 2023.

Historical violations from 2002 were primarily related to security and fire safety concerns, including fire escape maintenance and building security requirements, though these were all abated by September 2002. Two fire-related complaints were recorded in 2011 and 2016 but were found to have no merit. The property has not had any documented tenant buyouts. Recent maintenance records show regular upkeep, with the building's major structural safety requirement (soft-story retrofit) now fully compliant with San Francisco building codes.
