1690 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 15-unit apartment building at 1690 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Joseph P Torrano Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1936 and has undergone several significant safety improvements over recent years. Most notably, there have been two comprehensive fire alarm system upgrades, with the most recent completed in February 2024 costing $34,000, which included installing a new fire alarm panel, wireless radio communicator, and updated smoke detectors.

The building has maintained active fire safety compliance, with no active violations or major incidents on record since 2007, when fire extinguishers and the central alarm system required attention (issues that were promptly resolved). Recent structural and safety improvements include a 2018 re-roofing project ($53,000) and a voluntary seismic upgrade in 2017 ($69,000) improving the building's earthquake safety through spread footing foundation and grade beam ties.

The property has a documented history of routine maintenance and safety inspections, with the most recent fire safety complaint from August 2019 regarding extinguishers being resolved within five months. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and maintenance issues in the surrounding area between 2023-2025, these primarily involve sidewalk cleaning matters such as garbage and graffiti, suggesting ongoing attention to public space maintenance though not directly impacting building residents. The building's systems, including electrical infrastructure, have been regularly maintained, with a complete meter upgrade (16 meters, 400 amps) recorded in 2003, showing the property's commitment to infrastructure upkeep.
