101 28th St, San Francisco, CA 94131

101 28th Street in Noe Valley is a 6-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Orbis Tertius LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a $90,000 soft-story retrofit in 2017 to enhance seismic safety, achieving Tier 3 status with CFC issued.

In 2023, the building experienced a series of fire safety and building maintenance violations, including issues with fire proofing, combustible storage, and various fire safety systems (alarms, extinguishers, electrical systems). These violations were largely addressed by August 2023, with the exception of an alarm system violation issued in November 2023. Earlier in 2023, the building had multiple compliance issues related to weather proofing, smoke/carbon monoxide compliance, and interior painting requirements, including concerns about potential lead paint hazards. The property's maintenance history shows some attention to structural upkeep, including a cancelled reroofing project in 2012, though this permit is no longer relevant given its age.

A building fire incident occurred (date not specified) with no civilian injuries reported. The building has experienced recurring fire safety compliance challenges, particularly in 2006 and more recently in 2023-2024, with violations related to fire escape maintenance, extinguisher requirements, and exit obstructions. While the property has generally addressed most violations when issued, the pattern of repeated fire safety issues suggests ongoing concerns in this area. The building's recent history also shows attention to street-level concerns, with multiple 311 calls between 2023-2025 regarding parking violations, tree maintenance, and street defects, though these are external to the building itself.
