45-49 South Park, San Francisco, CA 94107

The Gran Oriente Filipino The G is a 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located at 45-49 South Park in the Financial District South, constructed in 1909. The property completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (Tier 3, Work Complete, CFC Issued) at a cost of $40,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a ground floor water line replacement in 2019, gas line replacements in 2016, and furnace installations in 2015, indicating ongoing maintenance of essential systems.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, particularly evident in 2015-2016 when multiple violations were recorded, including problems with stairs, heating systems, and security features (e.g., deadlatch locks). These violations, though serious, were generally corrected within reasonable timeframes, with most being abated by October 2016. More recent concerns have primarily involved exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and encampments in the vicinity during late 2024, though these are external to the building itself.

Two fire complaints in 2024 and one in 2018 were found to have no merit, while past incidents in 2015 regarding blocked exits and operating without a permit were promptly corrected. The property has undergone several significant interior improvements, including a substantial kitchen remodel in 2007 ($50,000) and comprehensive electrical upgrades. Recent building activity includes two lot subdivision proposals, currently under review or on hold, suggesting potential future changes to the property's configuration. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, the majority have been addressed through appropriate permits and repairs, with most recent violations being promptly corrected.
