988-992 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 4-story apartment building at 988-992 Pine Street, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Chin 1994 Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple regulatory challenges in recent years. In 2018, multiple permits were pulled for final inspections of previous work, including both building and plumbing updates, while street space permits were also issued during this period. The building underwent substantial improvements between 2015 and 2018, including electrical system upgrades with new panels, plumbing renovations with bathroom and kitchen work, and the installation of area drains.

Notably, in 2016-2017, the building faced several violations requiring attention to safety features, including fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors, and wood stairs, though these violations were ultimately abated by November 2017. The property has a history of routine safety inspections, with multiple citations in 2016 regarding fire safety and building maintenance, including a noteworthy violation for wood stairs repair. More recent issues included a 2018 complaint about improper paint scraping potentially involving lead paint, though this was quickly resolved.

The building's recent maintenance history shows regular upkeep and compliance with safety requirements, with the most recent building modifications focusing on interior remodeling and window replacements. While there were two fire escape complaints in 2017 and 2019, both were found to have no merit, and there has been only one recorded smoke detector activation incident with no injuries. The property has received regular attention from various city departments for street cleaning and maintenance matters, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years.
