2725-2727 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 2725-2727 Franklin Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, built in 1953 and currently owned by Donald Siemens. The building has undergone significant electrical system upgrades in early 2024, with the installation of 100-amp subpanels in each unit and the removal of outdated knob-and-tube wiring, including comprehensive updates to lighting, receptacles, and appliances, with the electrical system also receiving a new 400-amp main meter for the garage and common areas. These improvements, representing a substantial investment in building safety and modernization, were originally permitted in 2019 but had to be re-permitted in 2024 under new permit numbers.

The building has a documented history of roof maintenance, with complete re-roofing projects completed in 2010 and most recently in February 2024, showing regular upkeep of major building systems. Historical records show a cluster of fire safety violations in 2002 related to combustible storage and fire extinguisher maintenance, which were promptly addressed within one month. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2002 and 2006, both of which were resolved.

Recent 311 calls for the property between 2017 and 2024 have primarily concerned street cleaning issues, including reports of general garbage, furniture, and waste on or near the property, which were all resolved by city services. Two temporary moving-related parking sign requests were made for the property in 2017 and 2022, indicating normal residential activity. The property's recent electrical upgrades and roof maintenance suggest proper maintenance of critical building systems, while historical violations were addressed promptly at the time.
