1016 Potrero Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1016 Potrero Ave, constructed in 1948 and currently owned by Puente Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, in November 2024, the building was issued permits for a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade to comply with SFFC 1103.7.6.1, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in all potential sleeping areas at a cost of $28,600 - representing a significant safety improvement. The building has a documented history of plumbing issues, with recent work completed in 2022 on units 5 and 6 involving shower valve replacements and bathroom wall repairs, though these repairs were initially the subject of complaints regarding unpermitted work.

Several building violations were recorded in 2010, including mold/mildew on walls, a broken window pane, and various plumbing repairs, though all were abated by March 2010. The property has experienced recurring moisture-related issues, with multiple complaints about mold/mildew between 2002 and 2010, and more recent concerns about construction work potentially disturbing asbestos materials in 2022. Several infrastructure improvements have been made over the years, including a wall-mounted heater replacement in 2009 and various electrical upgrades.

The building's fire safety equipment has received attention, with fire alarm system and extinguisher maintenance recorded as corrected in December 2014. Recent activity outside the building includes multiple reports of graffiti in 2023-2024, while various parking enforcement and sidewalk maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls. Recent complaints about noise and unauthorized construction work suggest ongoing tenant concerns about maintenance and resident quality of life, though most historical violations and complaints have been resolved.
