1297-1299 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1297-1299 18th Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Jmrs Llc, was constructed in 1904 and has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2020, including the installation of Simpson Strong Walls and other structural improvements, achieving full compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. The property has maintained active upkeep, with recent work including a complete roof replacement in 2023 ($10,000), installation of sinks and flooring (cost: $15,000), and a garage partition wall installation.

The building underwent an accessible entrance upgrade in 2020 to improve ADA compliance. The property's maintenance history shows both proactive improvements and some concerning incidents. In 2016, there were multiple complaints regarding raw sewage leaks affecting the sidewalk and building access, representing a serious health and safety concern.

However, these issues were addressed and resolved. The building experienced a series of routine housing inspections in 2005 that identified several safety concerns, including door security and gas meter maintenance issues, all of which were promptly abated within a month. The most recent building permits indicate ongoing maintenance and improvements, suggesting active management of the property's infrastructure. Recent 311 calls related to the property have primarily concerned exterior issues like sidewalk defects, garbage can placement, and shared space obstructions, most of which have been resolved, although there are two open requests from January 2023 regarding sidewalk path clearance.
