1090 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94133

1090 Montgomery Street is a 4-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, constructed in 1959 and currently owned by Wolfgang Schulz. The property has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, most notably a fire alarm system upgrade in August 2023 costing $37,934 to meet current safety code requirements, and completion of a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 costing $80,000.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and safety elements, with recent fire safety inspections in 2022-2023 prompting corrective actions for alarm systems, exits, and extinguishers, though a 2022 fire escape complaint about an unbolted gooseneck was noted as not active. The building experienced several notable events in the past, including multiple complaints in 2012 regarding unauthorized construction activities, though these were resolved. A series of building violations from December 2004 were addressed by February 2005, covering various issues such as roof deck repairs, electrical concerns, and fire escape obstructions.

More recent improvements include reroofing completed in 2018 ($15,000) and various unit upgrades including bathroom and kitchen remodels. The property has maintained compliance with fire safety requirements, as evidenced by recent fire alarm system upgrades and the successful completion of the soft-story retrofit program. A cottage food operation permit for "House of Teaspoon" was approved, indicating the building's continued adaptation to modern usage patterns.
