501-507 30th St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 501-507 30th Street in Glen Park, owned by Jeffrey Chin Trust, was constructed in 1910 and is classified as a 2-story apartment building with 5 to 14 units. The property underwent significant seismic safety improvements with a $90,000 soft-story retrofit completed in 2017, achieving Tier 3 status with Certificate of Final Completion issued. Prior to this retrofit, the building faced violations in 2014 regarding non-compliance with the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, which were abated by December 2014.

Other major improvements include a $13,500 re-roofing project in 2017 and interior remodeling work in 2004 that included kitchen relocations and bathroom updates. The building has had three routine inspections between 2009 and 2010, with earlier structural concerns about stairs and fire sprinklers noted in 2009, though these violations were ultimately resolved. Most recently, the property has experienced several maintenance issues in the surrounding area, including multiple reports of abandoned debris and damaged pavement in 2024, though these are street-level concerns rather than building-specific issues.

The building's fire safety has been maintained, with no significant fire incidents recorded beyond minor electrical issues with no civilian injuries. The soft-story retrofit completion has presumably addressed the most critical seismic safety concerns, placing the building in compliance with current San Francisco building codes. Regular inspections and permits suggest ongoing maintenance of the property, though the age of the building (over 110 years old) means periodic repairs and updates are likely necessary to maintain safety and habitability standards.
