2 Italy Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 2 Italy Ave in Excelsior, owned by the Baldini Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1961. Most recently, the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 (cost: $23,040), including new fire panel installation and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current safety standards.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (cost: $84,600) as a Tier 3 building, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The property has a documented history of addressing various maintenance and safety issues, particularly between 2005-2006, when multiple window-related dry rot repairs were completed along with reroofing work and garage improvements.

The building has experienced recurring fire alarm system issues, with several fire complaints related to the alarm system and four documented false alarms between 2016 and 2019, though these were promptly addressed and classified as "Condition Corrected." While there have been various housing inspection complaints over the years, including concerns about interior conditions, stair safety, and security features, most have been resolved through subsequent permits and improvements. A notable violation in 2006 regarding an illegal workshop in the garage area was addressed, and the building's fire safety systems have been progressively upgraded to maintain compliance with current regulations, including the recent 2024 fire alarm system improvements.
