691 Post St, San Francisco, CA 94109

691 Post Street is a 6-story, 36-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Primo Segundo N V. The property has experienced several significant incidents and maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of flooding-related problems in September 2023 that affected the lobby and multiple units, including water damage to ceilings, carpets, and floors. There have been three recent complaints (September 2024) regarding work done without proper permits in Unit 503 and Unit 205, suggesting possible unauthorized modifications to the building.

The building experienced two fire incidents in 2014, with Units 102 and 503 suffering fire damage, though subsequent repairs were completed. Permit records show ongoing maintenance work, including a bathroom and kitchen remodeling project in Unit 503 (October 2024) and fire alarm system upgrades for low-frequency sleeping requirements (July 2024) to comply with San Francisco ordinances. The building has a history of mechanical and safety-related issues, including elevator malfunctions, heating system concerns, and periodic fire alarm system activations.

In recent years, there have been multiple complaints about heating system irregularities (2021, 2022) and elevator problems (2022). The property has undergone various improvements over the years, including electrical upgrades (2010), roof work (2003), and security enhancements such as the installation of a gate between 691 Post and 642 Jones in 2012. Numerous fire safety inspections have been conducted, with some violations noted regarding alarm systems, sprinklers, and blocked exits, though most were marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit." While maintenance and improvement work continues, as evidenced by recent permits and inspections, the recurring nature of flooding issues and unauthorized modifications raises ongoing concerns about building maintenance and regulatory compliance.
