1201-1205 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 16-unit multi-family residential building at 1201-1205 Pine Street, constructed in 1909 and currently under ownership of 1201 Pine A2 LP, has undergone significant upgrades and improvements over recent years. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofitting, achieving Tier 2 compliance, and has implemented various safety improvements including an upgraded fire alarm system (2019-2020), evacuation maps (2022), and ADA compliance improvements (2022).

Recent unit renovations include comprehensive updates to Units 12 and 14 in 2020-2022, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, washer/dryer installations, and electrical upgrades. The property has faced several maintenance and safety challenges over the years, including multiple water-related issues (highlighted by a hot water incident in May 2022), pest control concerns (notably regarding pigeons in 2014 and a rodent infestation in 2015), and some construction-related complaints in 2012.

Fire safety systems have required attention, with multiple alarm system activations and sprinkler system issues reported between 2021-2022, though these were generally found to be either malfunctioning systems or having no merit upon inspection. While historical building violations related to fire safety and garbage management were recorded in 2003, these appear to have been resolved. Recent activity records for 2024 show numerous reports of abandoned furniture and debris outside the building, though these are primarily street-level issues rather than direct building concerns.
