1235 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1235 Pine Street, owned by the Sage David M & Lily A Trust, was constructed in 1912 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in 2022, the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing $29,800, including a like-for-like system replacement, new components, and a wireless communicator installation to meet updated fire code requirements.

In 2016, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting under the soft-story program, achieving Tier 3 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. Historical records show various maintenance activities including reroofing (1994), stucco repair (1990), and sidewalk and street space permits (2003-2006). The property has experienced several building violations and complaints, particularly in 2003, when multiple fire safety and building maintenance issues were identified, including problems with fire proofing, smoke enclosure doors, stairs, and egress obstructions, all of which were abated by July 23, 2003.

There were two boiler permit violations in 2010 and 2020, though these are now resolved. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior matters, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 mostly related to street cleaning and tree maintenance, including empty tree basins and sidewalk defects which have been marked for resolution. The building's fire safety systems have required periodic attention, with the most recent fire violation in 2019 relating to the alarm system, which has since been abated.
