2755 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2755 Franklin Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Robert T Matsumura, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance since its construction in 1924. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, achieving Tier 3 compliance with improvements to ground floor shear walls, foundations, and connections, along with a subsequent fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 costing over $25,000 to meet current safety codes.

The building has had several major renovations to individual units, including bathroom remodels in units 3, 4, and 7 (completed between 1995 and 2013), siding replacements in 2000, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety systems, though there have been recurring issues with fire safety equipment. A 2023 fire violation was issued for sprinkler service requirements, and previous fire system problems were noted in 2007, 2015, 2017, and 2018, all of which were eventually corrected.

The building experienced some heating system issues in 2001, leading to several housing code violations regarding heat provision and temperature monitoring, though these were resolved within two months. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning and maintenance matters not directly related to building conditions. The most recent complete inspection history suggests no active violations or complaints regarding the building's overall condition, though several historical complaints from 2001 and 2010 regarding heating and interior surface issues were documented and resolved.
