268-274 Coleridge St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 5-unit, 2-story apartment building at 268-274 Coleridge Street in Bernal Heights was built in 1905 and is currently owned by Maura M. Bairley. The building completed a significant soft-story retrofit in 2017, costing $52,500, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent improvements include the installation of a direct vent gas fireplace in 2021.

The property has a history of addressing infrastructure issues, with completed work in 2000 to bolt mudsills to the foundation, though there was a notable plumbing incident reported in 2012 involving water drainage problems from the upstairs unit. The building has faced several safety and maintenance challenges over the years, most notably in 2000-2008 when multiple violations were recorded related to security and fire safety, including issues with stairs, fire extinguishers, and gas utility requirements - all of which were abated by December 2000. A building complaint was filed in July 2017 regarding unauthorized construction work, though this was subsequently closed. The property underwent a routine inspection in 2008, and there has been one documented tenant buyout at 270 Coleridge Street in March 2019.

While there was one recorded building fire incident (which was unintentional and resulted in no injuries), and one attempted burning incident noted, these events do not appear to have caused significant damage or posed ongoing safety concerns. The surrounding area has periodically experienced issues with abandoned vehicles and street cleaning needs, with multiple reports between 2017 and 2022, though these are external to the building itself. Recent 311 calls (2022) primarily related to street cleaning matters near the property. The last recorded building-related inspections and permits suggest that major structural and safety improvements have been addressed, with the building now in compliance with current seismic retrofit requirements.
