1025 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The seven-unit building at 1025 South Van Ness Ave in the Inner Mission, owned by Craig W & Cheryl S Beckheye, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and maintenance projects since its construction in 1953. Most notably, the building has completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit and fire alarm system upgrades, including a 2023 fire alarm system upgrade costing $15,640 and a 2022 modification adding low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet fire department requirements. Historical records show a period of substantial health and safety violations in 2002, during which multiple issues were documented and subsequently resolved by June 2002, including mold/mildew on walls, plumbing problems, and security concerns.

The building was also subject to a routine housing inspection in 2015, though no significant new violations were noted. Recent maintenance has primarily focused on external factors, with multiple parking enforcement actions recorded in 2024-2025 for driveway blocking incidents, and several graffiti removal requests were filed in 2023-2024, all of which were resolved. The property underwent a significant upgrade in 2015 with a $40,000 seismic retrofit to comply with San Francisco building codes.

A 2011 gas line repair and various routine maintenance issues have been addressed over the years. While there was an attempt to add a third floor and elevator through a variance request, this was ultimately withdrawn. The building's current status shows no active violations or ongoing complaints, and it has received a Certificate of Final Completion for its soft-story retrofit work.
