1441-1447 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, 9-unit apartment building at 1441-1447 Sacramento Street in Nob Hill, owned by David C & So Ying Wong Family, has undergone several significant safety improvements over the past few years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $120,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

Recent plumbing work has included a complete replacement of the sewer lateral and house-trap in October 2022. However, there have been recurring issues with the building's fire safety systems. Most recently, in October 2024, violations were documented for blocked exits and missing fire extinguishers, though these conditions were corrected by November 2024.

This followed a similar pattern from 2001 when fire safety violations were recorded and subsequently abated, as well as a 2006 incident involving alarm systems. The building has also experienced multiple sewer-related issues in 2023, with three separate incidents of flooding or sewage backup reported between March and April 2023, suggesting potential ongoing infrastructure challenges. On the positive side, the property has maintained its soft-story retrofit compliance status as "Work Complete, CFC Issued." Recent reports show regular parking enforcement activity around the property, with several citations issued for blocked driveways between 2023 and 2024.
