20 Romolo St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 4-story, 15-unit apartment building at 20 Romolo St in Telegraph Hill, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by 20 Romolo I7 LP, has undergone significant recent improvements and maintenance work. Most notably, in 2023-2024, the building completed fire safety upgrades including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and a new fire alarm system to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements.

The building converted a ground floor residential space into an ADU in 2020 (now complete), and underwent substantial unit renovations between 2018-2022 including kitchen and bathroom rehabs, washer/dryer installations, and various electrical upgrades across multiple units. The building has addressed past safety concerns, achieving Tier 3 Soft Story compliance, and has responded to three fire-related complaints since 2017, all of which were found to have no merit or were corrected.

Historical records show various building maintenance needs over the years, including a 2016 lead paint violation (since abated), and earlier issues with plumbing, electrical systems, and general building conditions from 1994-2016, though these were all addressed through proper channels. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance rather than building-specific issues. The property's recent focus has been on modernizing units, improving fire safety systems, and maintaining compliance with current building standards, with no active violations or unresolved complaints as of the latest records.
