990 Bay St, San Francisco, CA 94109

990 Bay Street is a 6-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, containing 41 units and currently owned by Friedman Properties LP. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with multiple unit upgrades between 2020-2021 including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 204, 503, and 602, along with a comprehensive fire alarm system installation with sprinkler monitoring in 2020 costing $65,000. The property has maintained active compliance with safety requirements, though there were some concerning incidents in 2021 regarding potentially improper lead and asbestos removal procedures in unit 204.

More recently, in 2024, the building received two fire safety violations related to alarm systems and sleeping area requirements, though one of these violations was rescinded. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both unit improvements and safety systems, including the installation of a new 600-amp three-phase service in 2019. The property experienced several maintenance issues in 2013 that were subsequently addressed, including repairs to electrical systems, walls/ceilings, windows, floor coverings, and fire safety features.

While there have been occasional fire-related incidents recorded, they have primarily involved minor issues such as false alarms, steam activation, or cooking-related events, with no reported civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to external property maintenance matters such as graffiti and street cleaning needs, rather than building-specific issues. The property has seen various proposed changes over the years, including multiple Verizon Wireless applications for rooftop telecommunications equipment, though many of these proposals have been withdrawn or are currently under review.
