52 Day St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 52 Day Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Drw Adagio Llc, has undergone several significant safety and structural improvements over the past decade. Most notably, in 2023, the building received comprehensive fire alarm system upgrades to comply with current fire safety standards, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and new fire panel equipment, with a documented cost of approximately $14,400.

The building has also completed mandatory seismic safety improvements, including a soft-story retrofit in 2016 ($75,000) and voluntary structural enhancements in 2014 ($35,000) to improve load paths and shear wall stability. Historical records show that in November 2000, the building experienced a cluster of fire safety violations related to egress, garbage storage, fire proofing, and fire system maintenance, though all these issues were resolved by December 2000.

A more recent concern arose in 2006 regarding mold and mildew, which was abated in 2015. The property has had some ongoing maintenance issues in recent years, as evidenced by a 2024 complaint about a collapsed sidewalk and reports of rodent/insect infestation, though these appear to be external to the building structure itself. The building's exterior and surrounding area have been the subject of various parking and sidewalk-related complaints, including several citations for parking violations and issues with tree roots affecting the sidewalk.
