1167 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1167 Pine Street building is a three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential property constructed in 1913 and currently owned by the Oak Tin Benevolent Association. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years, most notably a completed soft-story retrofit in 2019 (with a cost of $88,000) to comply with seismic safety requirements. The property has also received important fire safety improvements, including a recent fire alarm system upgrade in October 2024 (costing $33,210) to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements.

Historical maintenance issues have included multiple violations in 2010 related to heating, ventilation, fire safety, and electrical systems, as well as a 2013 complaint regarding various maintenance and health concerns that was subsequently addressed through multiple repairs, including window installations and unit upgrades in 2014. Recent building improvements have focused on addressing safety concerns, with completed work on unit-specific systems including plumbing and electrical updates. The property has experienced some recurring maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris, though these appear to be primarily related to external building surroundings rather than interior conditions.

Fire safety concerns have been relatively minimal, with three documented fire incidents/activations between 2017 and 2018, though no civilian injuries were reported in any cases. The building's most recent major systems upgrades, including the fire alarm upgrade and completion of the soft-story retrofit, suggest a commitment to improving overall building safety and compliance with current codes. While historical complaints and violations indicate past maintenance and safety concerns, most have been addressed through proper channels and repairs, and there have been no major systemic issues reported in recent years.
