22 Precita Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 22 Precita Ave in Bernal Heights, owned by the Buitrago Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety improvements since its construction in 1963. Most recently, in 2023, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current safety standards, including the installation of low-frequency horns in units and a new fire alarm panel, with costs totaling $26,421. In 2019, the property underwent reroofing work costing $23,000.

A critical seismic safety update was completed in 2017, achieving compliance with San Francisco's Soft Story retrofit requirements (Tier 3) through engineering modifications valued at $60,000. The building's fire safety systems have received ongoing attention, with historical violations from 2008 and 2011 regarding the central alarm system and alarm panel certification, though these were promptly addressed and abated, demonstrating responsive management to safety compliance issues. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to both building safety systems and general upkeep.

While there was one housing inspection in 1995 citing multiple maintenance issues, aside from routine inspections in 2003, 2008, and 2011, there appear to be no persistent building violations. Recent 311 calls (from 2018-2023) primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk parking, graffiti, and waste removal, though these are unrelated to the building's structural or safety systems. Notably, the building's recent compliance with the Soft Story retrofit program and the installation of modern fire safety systems suggest a commitment to maintaining current safety standards, though prospective tenants should be aware of the property's location in an area experiencing parking management challenges, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls.
