754 Post St, San Francisco, CA 94109

754 Post Street is a 5-story, 22-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1916, currently owned by 754 Post Street SF LLC. The building has undergone several significant fire safety improvements over the years, including a recent permit issued in July 2024 to install low-frequency sounders in all sleeping areas to comply with updated fire code requirements, and previous modifications to the sprinkler systems in 2016 and 2007 to enhance fire protection throughout the building. The property has faced recurring heating system issues, with multiple tenant complaints about inadequate heat in late 2021, and historical heating problems noted in 2010, 2013, and other years.

A significant gas line rerouting project was completed in 2021, and various plumbing improvements have been made, including bathroom and kitchen renovations, installation of a pressure-reducing valve, and water pipe repairs. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety challenges over its history, including a recent 2024 common area complaint, a 2021 complaint regarding heating issues, and multiple fire safety concerns. Past violations have included problems with fire escape cables (2002), unauthorized construction of unit #105 (2002), and various fire code violations related to alarm systems in 2007-2020.

Notable recent improvements include the 2024 fire alarm system upgrade and ongoing maintenance of fire safety equipment. The building's fire incident history shows mostly false alarms and system malfunctions, with one recorded chimney fire in 2014. The property has also undergone several unit legalization efforts, most notably the successful legalization of unit #101 in 2015. While the building has faced various maintenance issues over the years, many of these have been addressed through permits and repairs, though some recurring systems problems (particularly heating) have persisted.
