155 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94133

Wharf Plaza II, located at 155 Francisco Street in Telegraph Hill, is a 7-story, 136-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1983. The property has undergone significant improvement work in recent years, including substantial fire safety upgrades in 2022 with approximately $220,000 invested in new notification appliances and system enhancements ($142,000 and $78,000 respectively). Other major recent work includes a $200,000 re-roofing project completed in 2021, the installation of solar panels in 2021 ($370,000), and guard rail replacement work currently permitted for $38,000 in 2024.

The building experienced an unusual incident in January 2020 when a car collided with the property, damaging a sunroom area and sliding glass door, though there was no structural damage to the building itself and only one unit was affected. This incident prompted a building violation that remains active as of October 2023. The property has a history of routine maintenance and system upgrades, including a 2023 electrical wiring project, a 2021 boiler replacement, and multiple fire alarm system improvements. Notable historical issues include a 2011 complaint about inadequate flues/chimneys and a subsequent mold complaint, both of which have been marked as not active.

More recent fire safety violations have been handled promptly, with the 2023 sleeping area requirement violation being corrected the same day it was issued. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, including plumbing upgrades like backflow device replacement in 2020 and water system improvements. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti and illegal postings, with several cases remaining open as of December 2024. While the building has experienced occasional fire-related incidents, none have resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage, and the most recent fire violation was quickly addressed.
