1271 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1271 California Street, constructed in 1911 and owned by Leung Fmly Tr, has experienced several notable events regarding its maintenance and safety systems over recent years. Most significantly, in 2023, the building faced violations related to an unpermitted boiler operation that was abated by April 2023. This followed a pattern of heating system issues, including multiple complaints in 2008 regarding inadequate heat and radiator problems.

The building has undergone some maintenance work, including a backflow device replacement in 2015 and previous reroofing work from 1995. Three fire safety concerns were noted between 2015-2017 regarding sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers, though records indicate these issues were corrected. The building has experienced five fire-related incidents, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage, with causes including false alarms and cooking-related events.

The property has undergone regular housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspection recorded in 2017. Multiple housing code violations were documented in 2008 regarding fire safety and mechanical requirements, including issues with window frames, combustible storage, and hot water tank strapping, all of which were ultimately resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure needs, though some permits have expired, such as a street space permit from 2005. Recent years (2024) have generated multiple parking-related complaints in the vicinity of the building, involving illegal parking and driveway blockages, though these are not directly related to building conditions.
