1135-1139 Stockton St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1135-1139 Stockton Street in Nob Hill, owned by 1137 Stockton LLC, has been in operation since 1917 and contains 2 units plus ground-floor retail space. The property has experienced several significant fire safety and alarm system issues over recent years, with the most recent violations recorded in 2024 for alarm systems and sleeping area requirements, though some fire safety improvements are currently underway including a $40,023 fire alarm system upgrade issued in June 2024 to comply with 2022 fire codes. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to fire safety systems, with multiple fire alarm system upgrades and repairs documented between 2003 and 2024, though violations for alarm system maintenance and sleeping area requirements remain open as of June 2024. The property underwent a significant renovation process in 2024 with a filed permit for commercial tenant improvements to the retail space valued at $300,000, indicating active maintenance of the building's commercial component.

Historical records show the building faced multiple violations in 2003 related to fire safety, heating, plumbing, and interior conditions, all of which were abated by June 2003. The building has also had periodic issues with graffiti on the exterior, with the most recent incidents occurring between 2015 and 2018, and experienced a sewage vent issue in 2018 that was promptly resolved. Two Wi-Fi antenna installation attempts in 2013 and 2015 were cancelled and completed, respectively, suggesting some historical interest in telecommunications infrastructure at the location. The property has maintained compliance with regular housing inspections, with all identified issues being resolved within standard timeframes.

Recent fire safety concerns have been promptly addressed through permits and corrections, though there has been a pattern of violations related to fire alarm systems over the years, including a violation issued in 2024 that is currently marked as open. The building's 2005 roof replacement and 2004 sidewalk repairs demonstrate ongoing maintenance of essential building systems. Current fire safety work includes installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with 2024 fire code requirements, as indicated by multiple electrical permits filed in December 2023. The property is currently in the process of upgrading its fire safety systems to meet current code requirements, with a new cellular communication monitoring system being installed as part of the 2024 fire alarm system upgrade.
