1275 Bay St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 1275 Bay Street property is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Herbert Alexandra Maclean and constructed in 1924. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, most notably the complete fire alarm system replacement in April 2023 to comply with current fire code requirements, including low frequency sounders, following prior fire system upgrades in 2015. The building received substantial roof maintenance with a $40,800 reroofing project completed in 2018, and in 2016-2017 underwent voluntary structural strengthening work, including electrical and plumbing upgrades to the roof, though an initially proposed roof deck project was canceled.

Multiple unit improvements were completed between 2013-2016, including bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements such as the installation of earthquake gas shut-off valves and replacement of various heating systems. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential systems, including multiple HVAC system updates, electrical panel replacements, and bathroom renovations. Historical violations and complaints from 2000-2006 primarily related to heating system performance, fire extinguisher maintenance, and egress obstruction, all of which were promptly addressed and resolved.

More recent fire inspections in 2012-2014 raised minor issues regarding combustible materials and alarm systems, which were also corrected promptly. The property has maintained good compliance with housing codes in recent years, with no active violations on file since 2006. While there have been numerous parking enforcement issues in the immediate vicinity of the building during 2023-2024, these relate to street parking and driveway access rather than building maintenance or safety concerns.
