The 27-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1372 Pine Street, owned by H/s Partners II and built in 1910, has undergone significant renovations and faced various challenges in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a major fire safety upgrade in 2019 including a new sprinkler monitoring system and the addition of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, with a substantial electrical service upgrade to 400A completed in October 2023. The building has a documented history of elevator issues, with multiple incidents of trapped occupants requiring emergency response, and experienced notable management challenges in 2019 when residents reported extended periods of power and hot water loss in Unit 302.

Recent fire safety inspections in 2023 revealed violations related to sleeping area requirements, though these have since been abated. The property has faced various maintenance and safety challenges over the years, including plumbing issues, pest problems, and interior maintenance needs, with multiple 311 calls regarding sewer backup incidents between 2021-2023. Historical records from 2008 documented a significant ceiling collapse in one unit, requiring temporary relocation of the tenant.

The building's management has undertaken substantial renovation work in recent years, including the addition of three dwelling units during planning stages, and the completion of numerous unit-specific improvements including bathroom and kitchen renovations in Units 1, 2, and 3 between 2014-2020. A Tier 2 Soft Story retrofit was completed, addressing seismic safety requirements. While the building has experienced periodic issues with common areas and systems, recent improvements suggest attention to both unit-specific and building-wide maintenance needs, particularly regarding fire safety systems and electrical infrastructure.
