241 Cervantes Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 241 Cervantes Blvd in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Kirk & May Leong Trust and built in 1960, has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019, addressing seismic safety concerns, with a cost of $28,000. Recent improvements include a comprehensive upgrade to the fire alarm system in 2023, costing $28,500, to meet current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices to ensure compatibility with the new fire alarm control panel.

The building has a history of fire safety violations, particularly in 2001 and 2011, though all were resolved by May 20, 2011. These violations included issues with egress obstruction, fire extinguisher maintenance, and fire escape ladder conditions. The property underwent a roof deck railing repair in 1987 and received a furnace replacement in 2013.

Recent property maintenance challenges have included multiple parking violations in early 2021 involving vehicles blocking driveways, though these are unrelated to building safety. There was one fire incident recorded - a false alarm or false call - with no civilian injuries reported. The building's most recent inspections and permit work demonstrate active compliance with safety regulations and codes, particularly focusing on seismic and fire safety improvements.
