775-777 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 775-777 Sacramento Street building, a 4-story, 6-unit multi-family residential property built in 1907, is currently owned by Lai Enterprises Inc. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement efforts over the years, with the most recent significant work being a $45,000 kitchen and bath remodel in Apartment #5 in March 2023. A major structural improvement was completed in 1997 with a $70,000 earthquake hazard mitigation project.

The building has a history of fire safety-related issues, with multiple violations recorded in 2005 concerning egress obstructions, combustible storage, and alarm system problems, though all were successfully abated by November 2005. More recent fire safety concerns include violations in 2022 regarding the alarm system and a 2024 violation concerning extinguishers, though most fire safety complaints in previous years were either issued with corrections required or found to be of no merit. The property has experienced several maintenance challenges in 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris issues (seven instances in December 2024 alone) and two documented sewage back-up incidents from the side sewer vent in November 2024.

The building's fire alarm and safety systems have generated regular attention from fire services, with multiple false alarms and unintentional activations recorded between 2018 and 2024, though no civilian injuries have been reported from these incidents. The building's infrastructure appears generally maintained, with periodic inspections being conducted, including a routine housing inspection in 1999 and one in 2005 that revealed multiple fire safety issues which were subsequently resolved. The property's most recent building permits and inspections suggest ongoing maintenance and upgrading of individual units, though the frequency of fire safety-related incidents and the recent sewage issues indicate areas requiring continued monitoring.
