1228 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94133

1228 Montgomery Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1929 in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood, currently owned by Ronald & Barbara Kaufman. The building has undergone significant modernization and safety improvements in recent years, most notably the installation of a 3-stop residential elevator completed in 2015, which included substantial fire safety upgrades such as sprinkler system modifications and soft-story retrofit work valued at over $161,000.

This seismic safety upgrade was classified as Tier 3 and has been officially completed with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. The building's maintenance and improvement history indicates active management, with multiple street space permits issued in 2017 (three in total) and various plumbing and electrical upgrades.

These included the installation of earthquake gas valves in 2012, bathroom remodels in 2008, and comprehensive elevator-related infrastructure work in 2014-2015. While there were some past building complaints - including unpermitted construction work in 2008 and a kitchen exhaust fan issue in 2007 - these were addressed promptly and the building has maintained compliance with relevant codes. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues and public space management, rather than building-specific concerns, suggesting that major building systems and safety features have been properly maintained since the completion of the elevator project and associated upgrades.
