90 Alhambra St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 18-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 90 Alhambra Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by SF Multifamily V Property O, has undergone significant recent improvements and faced several safety-related challenges. Most notably, in 2023, the building was cited for sleeping area requirements and fire alarm system maintenance issues, with ongoing compliance efforts evidenced by a 2023 permit application to upgrade the fire alarm system to current codes, including low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The property has also been the subject of multiple fire code violations and complaints regarding alarm systems between 2020 and 2023, though many of these issues were subsequently corrected. The building has seen substantial renovation work in recent years, including plans filed in 2021 to add four new units by converting existing parking and storage spaces, and a completed soft-story retrofit in 2022. Between 2019-2020, major renovations were performed on multiple units (302, 301, 305, 403, 405, and 406), including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, new appliances, and electrical improvements.

The property has a history of addressing structural and safety concerns, including stair repairs in 2018, a backflow prevention assembly installation in 2009, and various maintenance work on the fire alarm system. While there have been no major recent building violations filed against the property, there have been multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street cleaning and parking issues, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance. The property's age (built in 1927) and recent fire safety issues suggest ongoing attention to building codes and tenant safety requirements is being actively managed through permit applications and work both completed and in progress.
