98 Cervantes Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 98 Cervantes Blvd in the Marina neighborhood has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1925, with particularly critical updates focused on safety systems in recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, a comprehensive new fire system was installed ($38,247) including an alarm panel, smoke devices, heat detectors, pull stations, and horn strobes, followed by plan revisions in November 2023 to comply with inspector requirements. The building has achieved compliance with the mandatory seismic retrofit program (Tier 3) and received its Certificate of Final Completion, demonstrating structural safety improvements.

Historical data shows attention to building maintenance through roofing work in 2017 ($21,000), window replacements, exterior painting ($45,000) in 2006, and the conversion of a storage area to a laundry room ($3,200) in 2004. The property has experienced some notable challenges in the past, particularly in 2003-2008, when multiple building code violations were recorded regarding heating systems, fire escape maintenance, and unauthorized work (including garage and laundry room modifications). These violations were all officially abated by September 2008, and the building has since demonstrated regular maintenance and upgrades.

A fire complaint regarding extinguishers in late 2021 was resolved by October 2022 with corrected conditions. Recent infrastructure improvements include a fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 with low-frequency horns and various utility repairs. The building's location has experienced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by multiple street cleaning requests and parking enforcement calls between 2020-2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions.
