830 Post St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The four-story multi-family residential building at 830 Post Street, owned by Deborah R. Decomo, was constructed in 1917 and contains 16 units. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades over the past decade, including a new water service installation with backflow valves for domestic and sprinkler systems in 2011, and a new sewer line installation.

However, the building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there are open fire safety violations regarding sleeping area requirements as of November 2023, and a recently issued violation in July 2024 concerning standpipe system maintenance. Previous concerns include multiple instances of water-related problems in 2015 (mold issues and weather protection), heating system complaints in 2014, and several lead paint-related violations between 2003-2015.

The building's fire safety record shows regular system maintenance issues, with violations for sprinkler/standpipe systems noted in 2024 and 2017, though some violations were subsequently abated. A notable incident history includes several false alarms, detector malfunctions, and external rubbish fires, but no civilian injuries have been reported from these events. Recent operational concerns are reflected in multiple 311 calls from late 2024 regarding sidewalk cleaning and various maintenance issues, including a 2024 BSM complaint that is currently in progress. While many historical violations from 2015 and earlier have been resolved, the building's more recent issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that warrant attention, particularly regarding fire safety systems and habitat conditions.
