69-75 Hill St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 69-75 Hill Street is a 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1880, currently owned by Zoriall LLC. The building has a history of multiple permit and compliance issues, most notably a significant security incident in late 2021 when temporary insecure entryway doors were installed, reportedly at the request of the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, leaving the building vulnerable until they were finally addressed. The building has been actively working to resolve its soft story retrofit non-compliance status (Tier 3), with permits filed in 2023 indicating a $120,000 retrofit project to comply with seismic safety requirements.

Multiple building violations were issued in 2016, primarily related to fire safety requirements, all of which were abated by April 2016. Substantial improvements were made to the building's units between 2015-2016, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, laundry installations, and electrical upgrades across all units, though some permits expired during this period. Planning records indicate ongoing efforts to address unpermitted work, including removal of an unpermitted rear roof deck and other modifications.

In 2018-2019, the building faced several enforcement actions regarding expired permits and occupancy issues, though these have since been resolved. The property's most recent building permit activities, including a September 2023 permit to demolish an unpermitted deck and front entry door, suggest continued attention to code compliance matters. Despite these historical issues, recent permits indicate ongoing efforts to bring the building into full compliance with current codes and regulations, particularly regarding seismic safety requirements.
