1275 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The six-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building at 1275 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill was constructed in 1926 and has undergone numerous renovations and maintenance updates over the years. Most recently, significant attention has been directed towards the building's fire safety systems, with multiple permits issued in 2024 for modifications to the fire alarm system, including the addition and removal of components like sprinkler bells and horn strobes. A particular area of concern emerged in April 2024, when two separate complaints were filed regarding exposed electrical wiring in the basement, with reports suggesting the wiring was covered with cardboard and potentially unsafe.

These complaints also noted difficulties with the elevator accessibility for disabled persons due to heavy doors. The building has experienced several notable events related to its systems and infrastructure. There have been recurring issues with the boiler permit, with violations filed in both 2018 and 2023, though these were subsequently abated.

The property underwent substantial renovations between 2007 and 2019, including multiple unit remodels (notably units 502, 604, and 102), roof replacement, and various plumbing upgrades including the replacement of galvanized piping with copper. The building has generated multiple fire department responses, including a building fire incident, though fortunately with no civilian injuries reported. Recent improvements include the installation of a new 200-amp meter panel for future car chargers in 2022 and various electrical system upgrades. The property has also undergone routine housing inspections over the years, with most violations appearing to be promptly addressed, though some persistent issues with the alarm system maintenance and elevator access have been noted.
