992-998 Florida St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 992-998 Florida Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Minato Ku LLC, was constructed in 1905 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance upgrades over the years. Most notably, the building is subject to a soft story retrofit mandate filed in December 2016, indicating requirements for seismic safety improvements.

The property has experienced persistent infrastructure challenges, including multiple sewer issues with replacement work documented in 2009, during which there were serious complaints of raw sewage spilling into the basement that were promptly addressed within a week. Historical maintenance records show various upgrades, including an electrical system improvement in 2015 with the installation of 9 feeders and a new meter panel board, and an HVAC upgrade in 1995 to improve heating systems in all units. The building faced significant safety and compliance issues in 2004, receiving multiple violations that were all abated by May 2004, including concerns about fire safety (missing fire extinguishers and sprinklers), plumbing issues, security requirements, and sanitation matters.

More recent history shows primarily routine maintenance issues, including sidewalk repairs needed as of 2024 due to tree root damage, and various garbage and debris removal requests through 311 in summer 2024. There have been two documented emergency incidents - a gas leak and a downed power line - though neither resulted in civilian injuries. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, most have been addressed through proper channels, and recent records suggest fewer critical safety concerns compared to earlier decades.
