700 Randolph St, San Francisco, CA 94132

The two-story, 16-unit multi-family residential building at 700 Randolph St in Ingleside Heights, constructed in 1962 and owned by Victor N. Stern, has a significant history of maintenance and safety compliance issues, particularly regarding fire safety and seismic retrofitting. Most recently, the building faced violations in 2023-2024 related to sleeping area requirements and fire extinguisher maintenance, though it has shown recent compliance with its soft story retrofit program.

The building underwent a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2016 costing $35,000, and has maintained its fire alarm system through various inspections and repairs, including a 2007 installation and subsequent monitoring. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, as evidenced by multiple fire violation citations between 2019 and 2024 regarding extinguishers, alarm systems, and sleeping area requirements. Historical building complaints from 2016-2023 indicate concerns with water leaks, mold, and routine inspections.

Earlier violations from 2001-2004 highlighted problems with fire escapes, emergency egress, and interior surfaces. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic infrastructure, with records of floor tile replacement (1986) and various repairs. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) primarily relate to street cleaning and parking enforcement issues, which are external to the building's management concerns.
