201-203 Bosworth St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 201-203 Bosworth Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Joe and Marjorie Leong, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1924. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015 (as a Tier 3 building) at a cost of $20,000, and has since addressed fire safety compliance with a fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 costing $6,800. Recent electrical improvements are underway, with a permit issued in August 2024 to upgrade the electrical service for six apartments from 30 amps to 100 amps, representing a substantial infrastructure modernization.

The building has also seen various maintenance and improvement projects, including window replacements in 2019, gas line upgrades in 2020, and earlier structural work involving bolting and plywood installation in 2000. The property currently faces several active building violations filed in November 2022 related to fire safety, smoke detection compliance, and plumbing permits, though many of these appear to be administrative in nature rather than representing immediate safety concerns. A gas leak incident and alarm system activation were recorded in 2022, with no civilian injuries in either incident.

Routine apartment inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent significant violations appearing to stem from improper storage and fire safety compliance issues. The building's maintenance history shows attention to key structural and safety systems, including a significant termite repair in 1992 and staircase repairs in 1989. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street and sidewalk cleaning issues in the immediate vicinity, rather than specific building concerns, with the most recent being a flooding/sewer issue reported in December 2022 that was transferred to appropriate authorities for handling.
