290 Prague St, San Francisco, CA 94112

290 Prague Street is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Excelsior neighborhood. Built in 1964 and currently owned by Michael Azedillo, this property has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, most notably completing mandatory seismic safety measures with a soft-story retrofit in 2019 (initially started in 2016 with an estimated cost of $65,000) which brought the building into compliance with current seismic safety requirements.

The building has a documented history of addressing safety and maintenance issues, including a 2018 renovation to address garage ceiling damage, install smoke alarms, and meet safety compliance requirements for $100. Recent infrastructure maintenance includes a 2019 water heater flue pipe replacement. The building's maintenance history reveals periods of concentrated upkeep, particularly following a 2006 complaint that generated multiple violations requiring repairs to electrical systems and interior surfaces, though these were all resolved within two months.

Multiple fire safety inspections from 2015-2019 indicated various issues with alarm systems and fire extinguishers, though all violations were subsequently abated. The property has experienced recurring issues with the alarm system, though these incidents appear to be related to system malfunctions rather than active fire situations, with no recorded civilian injuries from any incidents. Recent history shows ongoing concerns with parking enforcement in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking and driveway blocking between 2024-2025, though these are external to the building's maintenance directly.
