95 Cervantes Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 15-unit, three-story apartment building at 95 Cervantes Blvd in the Marina district, built in 1926, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and maintenance projects in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade costing approximately $27,440 to comply with current fire code requirements, which included installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices.

The building has also successfully completed mandatory seismic retrofitting as a soft-story building (Tier 4) with a $105,000 upgrade, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Historical maintenance records reveal past issues with water damage and ceiling repairs in 2008, and a steam boiler permit violation in 2004, both of which have since been resolved. The building's fire safety history shows a pattern of alarm system activations, mainly due to malfunctioning equipment, though these incidents have consistently been resolved promptly.

There have been some concerning incidents recorded, including a carbon monoxide incident and a natural gas leak, though fortunately, there were no civilian injuries reported in any fire-related events. Recent months (August-September 2024) have seen multiple parking enforcement actions in the vicinity of the building, with several citations issued for illegal parking, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The most recent building permit records indicate active maintenance and upgrading of the property's fire safety systems, with no current open violations or unresolved complaints, suggesting improved building management and maintenance practices in recent years.
