1082 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1082 Pine Street, owned by West 1982 Lvg Tr-survivors, was constructed in 1922 and has recently undergone several significant safety upgrades. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a comprehensive fire safety upgrade costing $21,577, which included the installation of new fire alarm system components, low-frequency sounders, and a radio communicator for 24/7 monitoring. This followed a similar electrical permit modification in 2022 that updated the fire alarm system to meet current safety standards.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues over the years, with multiple fire code violation complaints recorded between 2019 and 2024, though most have been abated following correction. The property completed its required soft-story seismic retrofit work and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), achieving compliance with this important safety requirement. Historically, the building has faced various maintenance and safety challenges, including a significant cluster of violations in 2004-2005 related to the smoke detector/alarm system, emergency lighting, fire escapes, and other safety features, all of which were ultimately abated.

There were also violations in 2010 addressing structural concerns and handrail repairs. The property has seen multiple tenant buyouts between 2016 and 2022, with varying compensation amounts, suggesting active tenant turnover. Recent 311 calls (2023-2024) primarily relate to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues, while three fire safety complaints in 2024 (including one for sprinkler/standpipe systems) indicate ongoing monitoring of safety systems. The building's recent history shows improved attention to fire safety systems, with two major upgrades in 2022 and 2023, though occasional violations continue to arise, particularly regarding emergency systems and maintenance documentation.
