31 Leese St, San Francisco, CA 94110

31 Leese Street is a two-story multi-family residential building in Bernal Heights constructed in 1965, containing 5 units and currently owned by 2425 24th St LLC. The building has undergone significant improvements over recent years, most notably complying with San Francisco's Mandatory Soft Story Seismic Retrofit Program (completed October 2022) and adding an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) valued at $216,000 in 2017. Major safety upgrades include the installation of a comprehensive fire protection system with sprinklers (2020), fire alarms (2022 with low-frequency sounders), and a 400-amp electrical service upgrade (2024).

The property has seen extensive unit renovations, particularly in 2017-2018, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units, installation of new furnaces, and conversion of Unit 5's kitchen to bedroom. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues, though most have been addressed. A 2020 violation for failure to complete mandatory soft-story work was abated by October 2022, and a 2021 complaint regarding a malfunctioning door was resolved.

Fire safety inspections in 2017 found violations regarding alarm systems and extinguishers, though these were subsequently abated. The property has experienced two fire-related incidents - a lockout and a smoke detector malfunction, neither resulting in injuries. Routine and complaint-based inspections over the years have revealed various maintenance matters, including issues with doors/windows (2021), exterior work concerns (2017), and multiple reports of garbage-related problems near the property (2018-2020). Records indicate regular attention to unit upgrades, safety compliance, and infrastructure improvements, suggesting active management of the property's needs and requirements.
