924-930 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 924-930 South Van Ness Avenue in the Inner Mission, owned by Altamirano Family Limited P, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its 1910 construction. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit in 2022, having initially received a violation notice in 2017 for failing to file the required permit. This $85,000 seismic safety upgrade brought the building into compliance with San Francisco's 2016 seismic safety requirements.

Recent improvements include a window replacement project filed in June 2023, which involves installing five new fiberglass windows in the front facade, demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts. The building's history shows periods of attention to safety and habitability concerns, particularly in the early 2010s. A 2011 inspection revealed multiple violations including fire safety issues, security concerns, and the need for lead paint hazard remediation, all of which were abated by November 2011.

Prior to this, complaints from 2007 regarding interior surfaces, stairs, handrails, and lead paint hazards were also resolved. The property has maintained its focus on structural integrity, with significant work done in 2022 to construct a new concrete retaining wall at the rear of the garage and reinforce existing walls. While there have been various service calls related to parking enforcement, sewage issues, and general maintenance, these appear to be typical of urban residential buildings and have generally been resolved promptly. The building's consistent record of permit applications and work completion suggests active management, particularly regarding building safety and code compliance.
