241 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94133

241 Francisco Street is a 3-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1959 in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood, currently owned by Tr For Pauline-lily Wong Kw. The building has undergone several significant improvements to maintain safety and modernize amenities over the years. Most recently, in February 2024, a fire alarm system upgrade was issued to meet current fire code standards, including new panels, devices, and installation of horns in units.

The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, reinforcing its seismic safety with new wood frame shear walls and epoxy-based hold-downs. The property has seen substantial maintenance and improvement work, including a $20,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit 5 completed in 2017, and important infrastructure work such as sewer and house trap repairs that same year. In 2007, the building participated in a rock slope stabilization project costing $35,000, addressing safety concerns from a neighboring property.

Earlier improvements from the 1990s included reroofing work and replacement of existing wood guardrails on the roof. The building has been subject to regular routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2005, though no significant issues were identified in those inspections. Recent 311 calls associated with the address primarily involve street-related concerns such as parking violations and sidewalk cleanliness, rather than building-specific issues, and all have been appropriately resolved through normal city channels.
