168 Sickles Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

168 Sickles Avenue is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1964 and currently owned by SFHDC Small Sites LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance in recent years, including a comprehensive $150,000 remodel in 2021 affecting 9 kitchens and 5 bathrooms, along with electrical system upgrades to improve safety with GFI and AFCI installations in all units.

The property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building has faced recurring issues with its elevator system, with multiple documented outages between 2009 and 2021, and there were significant water-related problems reported in 2014 involving flooding in the lobby and multiple units. Recent maintenance includes a $51,600 reroofing project completed in 2021 and various window replacements.

Fire safety inspections have identified occasional concerns such as blocked exits and issues with extinguishers, though these have generally been promptly corrected. The building's maintenance history shows active responsiveness to both routine maintenance and urgent repairs, with most recent permits and violations being addressed and completed. While the property has experienced some systematic and infrastructure challenges over the years, recent improvements indicate ongoing investment in building maintenance and resident safety.
