135-139 Albion St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story multi-family residential building at 135-139 Albion Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Zanco Trust, was constructed in 1908 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a complete fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 with a cost of $17,000 to comply with current fire code requirements, and a completed soft-story retrofit in 2018 costing $80,000 to enhance seismic safety. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues and violations, particularly during 2014-2016, including problems with lead-based paint, multiple plumbing complaints, and bathroom remodeling work done without proper permits.

These issues led to several correction notices, though most were resolved by March 2016. Historical complaints from 2007-2014 documented various maintenance concerns such as peeling paint, water damage, and structural issues. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to critical systems, including new furnace installations in 2017, plumbing upgrades in 2019, and reroofing work in 2014.

Recent 311 calls from 2022-2025 have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk graffiti, parking violations, and neighborhood encampments. The building has been proactive in addressing safety requirements, as evidenced by the successful completion of the soft-story retrofit program, classified as Tier 4, and the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas during the 2022 fire alarm upgrade. While the property has had periods of maintenance challenges in the past, recent records indicate fewer documented internal issues, suggesting improvements in building upkeep and code compliance.
