1220 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1220 Pine Street building is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential structure owned by Sisters LLC, constructed in 1910 and located in the Downtown neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various regulatory challenges in recent years. Most notably, the property was part of San Francisco's mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program and experienced violations in 2019 for failure to comply.

However, these violations were eventually resolved, with the retrofit work being completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. Recent building improvements include a $44,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel completed in 2023, which generated some tenant complaints about construction dust and lack of notice to residents. The building has faced multiple fire safety violations in recent years, with the most recent occurring in June 2024 regarding alarm systems, roof access, and fire escape issues, though these were abated within a week.

Prior violations included problems with fire extinguishers and door hardware in 2023, which were also resolved. The property has maintained regular upkeep, with historical records showing roofing work completed in 1995 and 2005, and a resolved commercial use application from 1989. Recent 311 calls for the property in 2023-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and graffiti issues, with some open cases requiring attention. While the building appears to have addressed most major violations and completed required retrofits, the recent pattern of fire safety violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance requirements.
