1101 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The four-story, 21-unit apartment building at 1101 Pine Street, constructed in 1909, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a major fire safety upgrade with the replacement of its fire alarm system and the installation of required emergency horn signaling devices at a cost of $47,000.

An active electrical permit from March 2024 indicates ongoing work to upgrade electrical systems throughout the building, including new circuits and wiring for all 22 units. The building has experienced recurring issues that required attention, including a 2018 complaint about clanging radiator pipes (resolved), and various routine safety inspections revealing multiple fire safety concerns in 2016, including problems with the fire escape, fire escape ladder, carbon monoxide detectors, and other safety equipment - all of which were subsequently addressed. The property has a documented history of attending to infrastructure maintenance, demonstrated through multiple boiler replacements in recent years (including a 2013 steam boiler installation and a 2009 hot water boiler inspection).

While there have been several fire alarm activations and system malfunctions recorded by the fire department over the years, no civilian injuries have been reported. The building appears to be actively managed with regular upgrades to maintain compliance with current safety codes, as evidenced by the recent fire safety improvements and ongoing electrical work. However, there are persistent challenges outside the building, with numerous 311 calls in late 2024 regarding street cleaning issues, including reports of garbage and debris that were subsequently resolved by city services.
