275 Turk St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 66-unit, 5-story apartment building at 275 Turk Street, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Rhi-mosser 275 Lp, has undergone significant renovations and faced numerous maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, the building has been actively upgrading its fire safety systems, with a new fire alarm system installation filed in February 2024 to comply with current safety codes, following a previous system upgrade in 2019 that cost over $26,500. There are concerning ongoing maintenance issues, particularly with the elevator and plumbing, as evidenced by a September 2024 complaint detailing persistent elevator outages exceeding three months and multiple water leaks affecting unit 401, along with historical complaints about the elevator's functionality in 2008 and 2009.

Between 2017-2019, the building underwent extensive unit improvements, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 107, 111, 201, 206, and 209, as well as work in efficiency units 4 and 5, all completed without structural changes to the building. The property has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, with violations noted as recently as November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. Historical records show several past violations related to elevator functionality, heating systems, and various maintenance concerns, though most of these issues were abated by May 2008.

Recent tenant complaints from 2022-2024 have raised concerns about construction activities during late hours, water and electricity disruptions, and unauthorized occupancy levels in certain units. The building's management has generally responded to maintenance and compliance issues, as evidenced by various completed permits and repairs, though some recent concerns, particularly regarding the elevator and plumbing systems, suggest ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance. The property has also been subject to multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding noise and sanitation issues in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself.
