155-195 Woolsey St, San Francisco, CA 94134

The 10-unit, 2-story apartment building at 155-195 Woolsey Street in the Portola neighborhood, owned by Bernal Heights Housing Corporation, was constructed in 1926 and has undergone various significant maintenance and compliance work over the years. Most notably, the building is currently classified as a non-compliant Tier 3 soft-story building under the Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit program, with the most recent related activity being an associated complaint filed in October 2022. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety improvements, including a $60,000 mandatory soft-story retrofit initiated in 2019, though another soft-story complaint from 2017 was marked as not active.

The property has experienced multiple fire safety-related issues, with recent complaints in 2024 (Alarm Systems) and 2023 (Electrical Systems), and historical violations regarding fire extinguishers in 2022-2023 which were subsequently corrected. The building's history reveals several periods requiring attention to various maintenance issues, particularly in the early 2000s when multiple violations were documented between 2002-2004, including problems with egress, window repairs, fire safety systems, and interior maintenance in Apartment #7, all of which were abated by April 2003. More recent improvements include the installation of three central heating systems in 2012 and various accessibility improvements completed in 2008.

The property has undergone regular routine inspections by housing authorities in 1999, 2004, 2008, and 2011, with the most recent recorded violation being related to fire safety in 2022. While there have been recurring issues with fire safety systems (alarms and extinguishers), the majority of complaints have been resolved or marked as having no merit. The building's exterior and surrounding area has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls regarding sidewalk defects and garbage/debris issues, though these are generally considered exterior maintenance matters rather than building-specific problems.
