19-21 Harriet St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 3-story multi-family residential building at 19-21 Harriet Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, owned by Robert & Mireya Wall Fmly T, was constructed in 1912 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, most notably completing a required soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $45,000 to enhance seismic safety. Recent maintenance work includes a house trap replacement in 2022, demonstrating ongoing infrastructure upkeep.

The building underwent comprehensive renovations in 1992, including foundation upgrades with grade beam installation, unit remodeling, and electrical system improvements. The property has faced several safety and maintenance challenges, particularly during a health and safety inspection in 2007 that resulted in multiple violations, including issues with wood stairs, fire safety equipment, smoke detectors, and security features - all of which were subsequently abated by January 2008. Earlier concerns were documented in 1995 regarding inadequate security.

More recent history shows a pattern of encampment-related issues in the immediate vicinity, with multiple reports in 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The building's maintenance record shows attention to both immediate repairs and larger structural improvements, including historical work from the 1980s and early 1990s that addressed various building systems. The property has maintained its compliance with major regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the completed soft-story retrofit and other permitted improvements.
