2689-2699 Bryant St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2689-2699 Bryant Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by 2699 Bryant Grp LLC, was constructed in 1900 and is currently classified as a non-compliant Tier 3 property under the Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, with violations pending since July 2020. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past two decades, including a major seismic soft-story retrofit initiated in 2016 ($10,000 project cost) and various other structural work. This includes foundation repairs in 2011 ($12,000), multiple unit renovations between 2009-2010 featuring electrical upgrades, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and HVAC system installations.

The property faced several serious building maintenance issues in the late 2000s, with multiple complaints regarding chipping paint, general disrepair, and illegal dumping that resulted in rat infestations and vandalism concerns, though these were subsequently addressed. More recent history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance activities, including multiple building and plumbing permits in 2022, though the building remains under scrutiny for its soft-story retrofit non-compliance. The building has experienced some irregularities, including a 2019 complaint about unauthorized drilling work potentially impacting gas lines, though this was marked as not active.

Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned exterior maintenance issues, including garbage/debris concerns and tree maintenance requests, with some being marked as resolved while others remain open. The property also has a history of fire safety concerns, with two violations noted in March 2008 regarding blocked exits and stairway issues, though these were issued and subsequently closed. While the building's overall condition appears to have improved since the 2008-2009 period, the persistent soft-story compliance issue stands out as the most significant current concern from a regulatory and safety perspective.
