2847 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2847 Folsom Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, owned by Ealing LLC, has undergone significant recent improvements while maintaining compliance with city requirements. Built in 1964, this apartment building successfully completed its Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements (Tier 4) as of April 2023, which included the installation of new steel framing, plywood sheathing, and shearwalls in the garage area in 2018 at a cost of $67,000 to improve earthquake safety.

Between 2018 and 2023, substantial additions and upgrades were completed, including the construction of two new ADUs in 2018, installation of a fire sprinkler system in 2020-2022 ($18,000), fire alarm system upgrades in 2022 ($21,000), and a significant electrical service upgrade with a new 400-amp service in 2023. The building's recent history indicates active maintenance and compliance with safety requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and monitoring modules for the fire system in 2022 to meet current fire codes.

Regular inspections and routine maintenance have been documented through various permits, including kitchen remodels in all units (2006-2007) and conversion from overhead to underground utilities (2004). While the building has experienced recurring issues with graffiti between late 2023 and 2024, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls, these have been addressed promptly by city services. The property has maintained good standing with housing inspections, with only routine and safety-related citations, all of which have been resolved, most recently the soft story compliance issue which was abated in 2023.
