750 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 4-story, 18-unit apartment building at 750 Pine Street, owned by Kung Wo Co and constructed in 1923, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit (Tier 2) and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), demonstrating compliance with important safety requirements.

Recent fire safety upgrades include a comprehensive fire alarm system modernization in 2018-2022, with work including new control panels, smoke detectors, low-frequency sounders, and compliance with current fire code requirements. The building experienced a significant roofing project in 2018 ($46,000) and multiple boiler replacements, with the most recent installation completed in 2019. Two major concerning issues have emerged recently: a Department of Building Inspections complaint in March 2024 regarding inconsistent hot water supply, with reports of lukewarm water affecting resident comfort, and a fire alarm system violation issued in May 2024 that has since been addressed.

Historical records show past maintenance challenges, including water damage, peeling paint, and various fire safety compliance issues in 2007-2019, although these appear to have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical systems, including regular updates to the fire alarm system, boiler replacements, and roof improvements, indicating ongoing infrastructure maintenance. Recent 311 calls around the property have primarily concerned street cleaning matters, with no major building-specific complaints filed in 2023-2024, aside from the aforementioned hot water issue.
