1200 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, nine-unit multi-family residential building at 1200 Francisco Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by SF Multifamily V Property O, has undergone several significant safety and modernization improvements over the past few years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade (cost: $22,889) to comply with San Francisco Fire Department requirements, including subsequent revisions for sprinkler system monitoring equipment. In 2017, the property completed a $150,000 mandatory soft-story retrofit, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Unit 4 underwent a substantial renovation in 2020-2021 ($65,000), including kitchen and bathroom updates, while the building has also been subject to regular fire safety inspections, with violations related to blocked exits and alarm systems recorded in previous years, though these were subsequently corrected. Recent 2024 complaints have raised concerns about exterior maintenance, specifically regarding peeling paint around windows, though many of the historical violations from 2001-2006 related to fire safety and sanitation issues have been resolved. The building has experienced multiple false alarms and smoke detector activations over the years (as recorded in fire incident data), though notably without any civilian injuries.

The property's recent tenant buyout record from July 2022 indicates compensation of $7,000 for two tenants. Multiple 311 calls in late 2024/early 2025 have been recorded for issues such as graffiti and sidewalk maintenance, though these are primarily related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself. A routine housing inspection was initiated in June 2024, which is currently ongoing, and all recent fire safety violations have been documented as abated.
