455-459 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 455-459 Sanchez St, owned by Haramis Trust and built in 1908, has undergone significant modernizations and safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the property completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (as a Tier 4 building), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent renovations include comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and window replacements, with the most recent work completed in 2024 totaling approximately $25,000. This work followed earlier substantial improvements in 2022 and 2020, which included new insulation, drywall, HVAC systems, and gas line replacements. The building has a history of addressing structural and safety concerns, with earlier improvements including stair repairs in 2002, steel reinforcement of wooden beams in 2004, and plumbing repairs to the clay sewer in 2013.

The property has previously experienced maintenance issues that have since been resolved, including stair safety concerns and gas utility requirements in 2002-2003, and exterior wood ladder violations in 2011. Recent infrastructure upgrades, completed in 2023, include a new heating system (forced air furnace), electrical sub-panel installation, and rewiring of receptacles and lights, indicating ongoing commitment to maintaining building systems. The surrounding area has experienced regular street maintenance challenges, evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024 regarding waste cleanup, including recent reports of human/animal waste and illegal parking concerns, though these external issues are not directly related to building conditions.
