1901 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 8-unit apartment building at 1901 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Gary T. McCauley, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2023 and 2024, the building received important safety improvements including a $49,332 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with SFFC requirements, installation of wireless low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, and replacement of smoke pull stations and horn strobes in common areas.

The building also completed a soft-story upgrade in 2020 (cost: $25,000) and replaced its old Federal Pacific electrical panels with nine new panels in October 2024, demonstrating a commitment to modernizing critical building systems. The property has maintained regular upkeep, including roofing work in 2021 (cost: $23,950) and historical attention to structural issues such as dry rot and termite repair in 1997. Two routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2009 showed other building violations, though these were promptly resolved.

Recent maintenance and public service records indicate periodic attention to external issues like sidewalk cleaning and parking violations, which are typical for a multi-unit residential building in an urban setting. The building's fire safety record shows some system activations in 2024, but these were either unintentional or false alarms with no injuries reported. While there have been various 311 calls regarding the property's exterior and surrounding area, most recent complaints relate to street-level issues rather than building-specific problems, and these have generally been resolved promptly.
