60-62 Appleton Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 60-62 Appleton Avenue in Bernal Heights is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Maureen Schmidt. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, in late 2021, a comprehensive seismic retrofit of the foundation was completed at a cost of $80,000. In 2021, the building sustained minor damage to its front façade (brick) due to a car impact, which was promptly repaired.

The property has experienced recurring issues with water damage and mold, particularly evident in 2006 when violations were issued for various interior surface problems including mold removal, water damage repairs, and heating system deficiencies that required attention in multiple units. Regular inspections have revealed various maintenance needs over the years. A routine safety inspection in 2014 identified issues with the water heater, rear stairway, and fire extinguisher that were subsequently resolved. Building improvements have included electrical work in 2006 involving lighting and ceiling fan replacements.

The building has experienced several minor fire-related incidents including false alarms and false calls, but no actual fires or civilian injuries have been recorded. Recent records from 2024 primarily show external enforcement issues related to parking violations, though these do not directly impact building residents. The property's maintenance history suggests a pattern of addressing both routine and emergency repairs, including compliance with various notices of violation. The most recent significant improvement, the seismic retrofit, indicates proactive building safety management. While there have been periodic maintenance issues, many have been promptly addressed through appropriate permits and repairs.
