3962 Cesar Chavez St, San Francisco, CA 94131

Located at 3962 Cesar Chavez Street in Noe Valley, this 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building was built in 1964 and is currently owned by the James & Arlette Green Revocable Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements, most notably a completed soft story retrofit in 2016 which brought the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements, including a subsequent revision to address field conditions that same year.

Other major maintenance work includes a roofing project completed in 2015, window upgrades in 2008 to replace single-pane windows with energy-efficient double-pane windows, and various repairs to address dry rot issues between 2007-2008. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity and safety, though there was a notable cluster of violations in late 2007 related to seismic bracing of the hot water heater and miscellaneous issues, all of which were abated by December 2007.

Since then, there have been several routine inspections (1999, 2007, 2010, and 2011) with no violations found, suggesting improved compliance with building codes. Recent external maintenance issues have been minimal and primarily related to street cleanliness, including the 2023 removal of a Christmas tree and a 2021 illegal posting, both of which were promptly resolved by city services. The building's most recent significant structural work, the soft-story retrofit, was completed under Tier 3 designation with a Certificate of Final Completion issued, indicating full compliance with the city's earthquake safety requirements.
