175-177 Pfeiffer St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 175-177 Pfeiffer Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Meltim Fung Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1956. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory seismic retrofit as a Tier 3 soft-story building in 2017 at a cost of $100,000, with subsequent steel moment frame revisions in 2018.

The building's fire safety systems have been actively upgraded, with a comprehensive fire system replacement in 2021 including new low-frequency horns, smoke detectors, and pull stations, following a fire alarm complaint in 2016 that was promptly resolved. Window improvements were carried out in 2007 with the replacement of 12 windows facing Pfeiffer Street, and a wall heater replacement was completed in 2013. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety and compliance, though there were several violations noted during a December 2005 inspection related to fire safety systems, smoke detectors, and garage storage, all of which were addressed by April 2006.

Recent property management has included monitoring for parking issues, with multiple citations issued in 2024 for driveway blocking. There have been recent instances of sidewalk blocking due to construction equipment in July 2023, though these were addressed through communication with the construction crew. The building maintains active compliance with all major safety requirements, as evidenced by the issuance of the Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) for the soft-story retrofit work.
