730 Ofarrell St, San Francisco, CA 94109

730 Ofarrell St is a 23-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 in the Downtown neighborhood and currently owned by Pritchard Marital Trust. The property has undergone several significant recent improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade completed in August 2024 ($52,200), reroofing work completed in November 2023 ($79,550), and a domestic boiler replacement in 2021. However, there are two active boiler permit violations as of July 2024 regarding permits for serial numbers C21307564 and 518730-200507 that require attention.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations issued between 2006 and 2023, including issues with sprinklers/standpipe systems, sleeping area requirements, fire extinguishers, and general fire protection equipment maintenance. A notable incident occurred in the elevator, requiring emergency services to assist in May 2023. Recent tenant complaints from 2023 indicated water leakage through the lobby ceiling and debris creating fire hazards.

The property has received attention from various city departments for garbage and debris issues, with multiple 311 calls recorded between September and December 2024, most relating to general debris and encampments in the vicinity. Historical records show the building has undergone several infrastructure improvements over the years, including a seismic retrofit in 1998 and multiple roofing projects between 1999 and 2024. The property has experienced recurring issues with boiler permit compliance, with nine separate instances of complaints between 2013 and 2024 regarding permit renewals. While some violations have been resolved, as evidenced by their "Not Active" status, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly relating to fire safety and boiler permits, suggests ongoing compliance challenges.
