1950 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

Located in Pacific Heights, 1950 Franklin Street is a four-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by 1950 Franklin G1 Lp. The building has undergone significant modifications in recent years, most notably conversion projects in 2020-2023 that reconfigured several units, including Unit 4 (converted to a studio and 1-bedroom unit), Unit 3 (renovated to include a study and new bathroom facilities), and Unit 5 (converted to include a study and additional bathroom).

A substantial infrastructure upgrade was completed in 2020 with the installation of a fire sprinkler system throughout multiple floors, along with an electrical system upgrade that included new 400-amp overhead switchgear. The property also completed hydronic system improvements with new boilers and backflow preventers. The building has experienced several concerning events that merit attention, particularly regarding safety and resident well-being.

In 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding alleged unsafe demolition practices in Unit 9, with reports of improper handling of mold, lead, and asbestos materials, though these complaints are currently marked as "Not Active." Additionally, there were reports in late 2022 about heating issues and structural concerns in Unit 12A. The property completed its soft-story retrofit requirements and has an active fire alarm system, though a recent violation for the alarm system maintenance was issued in October 2024, which was previously noted as corrected. The building's recent history also includes tenant buyouts in June 2021 totaling $50,000 for two tenants, and multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning issues and parking violations near the property, though these are external to the building itself.
