1280 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94109

Located in downtown, 1280 Pine Street is a 6-story, 24-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by the Joseph F Mannion Jr Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years, including a $20,000 fire alarm system replacement in 2022 to accommodate low-frequency sounds in all units, and an electrical upgrade completed in early 2023 to comply with current fire code requirements. The property has faced recurring water-related issues, with three violations filed in March 2023 regarding water damage and interior surface problems, though these were abated by April 2023.

There is currently an open fire violation regarding sleeping area requirements issued in December 2023. Historical maintenance records reveal attention to safety systems, including sprinkler system improvements in 2015, backflow device replacement in 2010, and various building reinforcements in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The building's recent history shows some concerning habitability issues, particularly related to water damage and its impact on interior surfaces, as well as a malfunctioning refrigerator complaint filed in January 2024.

The property has addressed multiple safety system upgrades and corrections, including legalization of unpermitted dwelling unit improvements in 2014, and it was reported that the building received 25th unit legalization per Ordinance 43-14 (exact date of this process is not specified in the current records). Regular maintenance and compliance checks have been documented through various permits and inspections, with most issues being corrected in a timely manner. Three fire safety complaints were properly investigated and resolved in 2022-2023, showing responsiveness to safety concerns, though one violation remains open as of December 2023.
