70 Liberty St, San Francisco, CA 94110

70 Liberty Street is a three-story, eight-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by John H. Parr and Philip C. The 123-year-old structure has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, most notably a mandatory seismic retrofit completed in 2022 that cost $110,000, and a fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements.

The building has experienced recurring sewer issues, with three documented sewage backup incidents in 2021 and another incident in early 2022, suggesting potential ongoing plumbing system challenges. A tenant buyout was recorded in August 2019 with an amount of $35,000 for one tenant. The property has maintained compliance with routine inspections, receiving regular apartment house inspections in 2000 and 2006 with no active violations recorded.

Recent maintenance includes electrical infrastructure improvements, such as conversion from overhead to underground power lines in 2003 and various street space permits in 2016. While the building has experienced sewer system problems, these have generally been addressed promptly as evidenced by the completion of necessary repairs. The most recent fire complaint regarding the alarm system in September 2023 was found to have no merit. The property appears to be actively maintaining compliance with current safety codes, as demonstrated by recent permit activity and the resolution of various maintenance issues through appropriate channels.
