1390 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1390 Pine Street in Downtown was constructed in 1923 and has undergone various maintenance and repair work over the years. Recent significant issues include active complaints filed in October 2024 regarding general dilapidation, window repair needs, heat maintenance problems, and lack of required lighting. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints between 2018-2019 about inadequate heat, including a 2019 complaint about a malfunctioning heater's wiring.

Other concerning recent issues include reports of a blocked fire escape with plexiglass and a hoarding situation in the garage area. The property has also faced infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by a notable 2019 reroofing project costing $53,000 and various heating system repairs. Historical records show improvements such as foundation work and shear wall installations in 1995, though several permits from the 1990s expired without completion verification. The building's maintenance history includes addressing multiple building violations in 2005 related to emergency exits, fire safety, and smoke detectors, though these were reportedly abated.

While there have been many fire alarm activations recorded, none resulted in civilian injuries or actual fires, suggesting the system is functioning reliably despite multiple false alarms. Recent complaints about mold, water intrusion, and security concerns, particularly regarding the front door, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also generated numerous 311 calls in recent months regarding garbage, debris, and other street-level issues, though these are external to the building itself. Multiple heating system complaints in 2019, including issues with thermostat communication and inadequate temperature maintenance, suggest recurring problems with the building's HVAC systems, though some repairs were documented as completed.
