891-897 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 10-unit, 4-story apartment building at 891-897 Sacramento St, owned by Stockton Street Legacy LLC, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years. The most recent and critical safety work includes a fire alarm system upgrade in 2024, with both building and electrical permits issued to comply with current fire safety requirements.

Historical issues that have been addressed include a basement wall collapse during plumbing work in 2004 (abated in 2006), fire escape ladder maintenance in 2005 (also abated in 2006), and various building repairs including re-roofing in 2016 and stucco repairs in 2008. The building has undergone regular housing inspections, though there were periods of concern including a 2009 complaint about possible mildew problems. Recent activity around the building (2024-2025) shows ongoing maintenance and environmental challenges, with multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti and debris on or near the property, particularly in January 2025.

However, these exterior maintenance issues appear to be more about street-level conditions rather than building-specific problems. The building has had three fire-related complaints between 2017 and 2021, primarily concerning sprinkler/standpipe systems and exit maintenance, though all were either corrected or found to have no merit. While the building is over 100 years old, the property management has demonstrated compliance with major safety requirements, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm system upgrade, though some historical violations and complaints related to maintenance indicate there have been periodic challenges with upkeep and safety systems in the past.
