60 Dearborn St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 60 Dearborn Street, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Potrero Ventures LLC, has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably the completion of a soft-story retrofit in 2022 (Tier IV) that included the installation of steel moment frames and plywood shear walls to enhance seismic safety. The property has also seen extensive unit-specific renovations, including modernizations of Units 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 between 2012 and 2021, featuring bathroom and kitchen upgrades, new fixtures, and electrical improvements. A key development was the successful conversion of the garage into an ADU (Unit 9) in 2018, adding to the building's unit count.

Recent maintenance issues have centered around plumbing and hot water systems, with a notable complaint in 2023 regarding delayed hot water delivery in Units 1 and 5, attributed to relocated pipes, and violations related to water heater installation in 2023 that were subsequently corrected. The building's infrastructure has been regularly updated, including an electrical service upgrade to 200 amps and various plumbing improvements such as boiler decommissioning in 2021 and water fixture replacements. The property has experienced several building code compliance issues throughout its history, including violations in 2017 regarding the central alarm system and in 2022 related to boiler permits, though most have been promptly addressed. A routine inspection in 2017 and subsequent complaints in 2018-2023 have indicated various maintenance needs, particularly concerning the boiler system and hot water distribution.

The building has maintained general compliance with fire safety requirements, with only one minor extinguisher-related complaint in 2012 that was immediately corrected. A comprehensive 2022 soft-story retrofit brought the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 have primarily concerned exterior maintenance issues typical of the neighborhood, such as garbage removal and sidewalk cleaning, rather than building-specific problems. The property's maintenance history shows consistent attention to unit upgrades and infrastructure improvements, with the most recent work focusing on addressing plumbing and water heating systems.
