14 Liberty St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 14 Liberty Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by the Miguel A Perez Briz Trust, was built in 1963 and has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic strengthening work in 2017, which included building reinforcement at a cost of $60,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

The property has experienced multiple safety-related issues, particularly regarding fire safety and egress paths, with several violations recorded between 2001 and 2009 related to blocked fire escapes, missing fire safety equipment, and combustible materials. An active complaint from 2009 remains regarding unauthorized sprinkler system installation in the western garage, while historical electrical upgrades include a 2005 installation of a new 200-amp service.

Recent years have seen a pattern of maintenance issues and permit violations, including a sidewalk repair permit from 2001 (now expired) and various compliance issues noted during routine inspections. The property has been subject to numerous 311 calls in recent months (between September and December 2024) primarily related to parking violations on the sidewalk and issues with garbage and debris on the street, while there have been three documented fire code violations between 2006-2008 that were ultimately resolved. The building's history suggests a pattern of addressing safety concerns through permits and repairs, though some issues, particularly the work without a permit regarding the sprinkler system, remain unresolved as of the most recent records.
