1750 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, 9-unit apartment building at 1750 Pacific Avenue in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1904, has undergone several significant safety upgrades over the past decade. Most recently, in September 2024, the building completed a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing $35,021, which included the installation of addressable fire alarm components and LED strobe lights.

The building is classified as a Tier 3 Soft Story property, and in 2017 it successfully completed mandatory seismic retrofit work, which included the installation of plywood shear walls at a cost of $100,000 to enhance structural stability. The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, including multiple fire safety system improvements. Between 2018 and 2024, there were recurring issues with the alarm and sprinkler systems, resulting in several violations and complaints, all of which were subsequently abated.

The property underwent significant maintenance work, including a reroofing project in 2019 ($21,975), electrical system upgrades in 2017, and plumbing improvements including a boiler replacement in 2010. While there were some concerns about unpermitted work in late 2020, and the building has experienced issues with garbage and debris removal in the surrounding area (as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024), these appear to be external to the building itself. The property's maintenance record shows consistent efforts to address building code requirements and maintain safety systems, with the most recent fire alarm system upgrade representing the latest in a series of safety enhancements carried out over the years.
