275-283 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 14-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 275-283 Green Street in Telegraph Hill, built in 1912, has undergone significant recent improvements and faced several notable incidents. Most importantly, in early 2024, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current fire code requirements, representing a major safety enhancement.

A substantial renovation was completed in late 2023 for unit #1168, which had initially generated complaints about work being performed without proper permits and causing dust issues in the neighboring unit (#1164), though this work was subsequently properly permitted and completed at a cost of $70,045. The building has a completed soft-story retrofit (2017) under Tier 3 status, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has experienced some concerning issues over its history, including a structural fire in 2011 that required roof penthouse repairs, and multiple fire safety concerns with its alarm system and extinguishers documented between 2021-2024, though most have been marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated." In 2019, there were violations related to leaking windows and mold/mildew issues, though these were abated the same year.

Maintenance and improvement work has continued regularly, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units (2022-2023) and infrastructure updates like sewer line repairs (2012) and window replacements (1997). Three recent complaints from December 2024 regarding exposed wiring and coaxial cables near the building entrance were filed, though their current status needs verification. The building's management, represented by Mosser Company, has generally responded to violations and completed necessary repairs, as evidenced by the various "Condition Corrected" and "Completed" statuses on numerous permits and violations.
