1333-1335 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 81-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 1333-1335 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, owned by Ellision Enterprises USA Inc, has undergone several significant fire safety upgrades in recent years, most notably completing a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 (cost: $118,900) to comply with current fire code requirements, followed by additional corrections to floor titles and alarm system components in August 2024. The building, constructed in 1975, previously underwent extensive stucco repair work in 2015-2016, with projects on the north side and east side of the building costing $50,000 each, though an attempt to replace damaged stucco on the east side in 2016 was withdrawn. A complete fire sprinkler installation was completed in 2009, and the boiler was replaced in 2018, indicating ongoing maintenance of critical building systems.

The building has experienced periodic fire safety violations, with the most recent open violation issued in October 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. There is a history of fire alarm system-related violations between 2016-2023, though these have generally been corrected or abated. Residential unit maintenance issues have been documented in 2015, including reports of water intrusion, mold, and aging carpets in Unit 114. Past building complaints included unauthorized interior remodeling in 2010 (4th floor) and unauthorized construction in a ground floor commercial space in 2012, though these issues were eventually addressed.

The property has maintained an active permit history, with regular updates to critical systems and addressed violations, though there have been periods of maintenance concerns as evidenced by resident complaints from 2014-2015 regarding ventilation and cleanliness of common areas. Recent inspections and permits indicate active management of fire safety systems, with the building's most substantial recent investment being the comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024. The property's maintenance history shows particular attention to water intrusion and exterior facade maintenance, though there have been instances of resident-reported maintenance issues in individual units. The building's technical work has included both fire safety improvements and general systems upgrades, with regular compliance with building permit requirements, though there have been instances of unauthorized work in the building's history that required subsequent permits.
