250 Hartford St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The six-unit multi-family residential building at 250 Hartford Street, owned by Andre & Joanna Gros-balthaz, was constructed in 1961 and is classified as a two-story apartment building. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over its history, with the most recent major work being the completion of a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2021, which included substantial structural improvements such as concrete work, footings installation, new shear walls, steel columns, and a steel beam, with a total project cost of $60,000.

This retrofit was prompted by a June 2020 complaint regarding non-compliance with San Francisco Building Code requirements, but was ultimately completed with the issuance of a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) in 2021. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, including multiple violations and repairs between 2001 and 2011. Notable incidents include problems with drainage pipes (2004), fire escape maintenance (2011), and a sewage backup issue (2003).

While all these violations have been marked as "Not Active" upon resolution, they represent historical concerns about the building's infrastructure. More recently, there has been a pattern of parking-related complaints near the property, with numerous reports of driveway blocking between August and December 2024, leading to several citations being issued. These parking enforcement issues appear to be the most current and persistent concern associated with the property, though they relate to street parking rather than the building itself.
