1832 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 7-unit apartment building at 1832 Franklin Street, managed by MTM Management-2 LLC, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1914 in the Pacific Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $85,000, which included the installation of plywood shear walls and steel moment frames, achieving compliance with San Francisco building codes. Recent maintenance work has included water heater replacements in 2015 and 2010, with the most recent installation meeting current safety requirements.

The building experienced a period of fire safety violations in 2002, which included issues with egress obstruction, fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher maintenance, and the need for directional signs; however, all these violations were abated by February 26, 2002. More recently, the building has maintained a relatively low incident rate, with no major fire incidents or violations since 2009. There were also some infrastructure issues in 2011 with the side sewer that were addressed, and minor maintenance matters such as illegal postings and graffiti were resolved through standard city processes.

The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2002 and 2013, with no significant issues reported in the most recent inspection. The property has received some parking-related complaints in 2024, and there have been occasional reports of noise, but these appear to be typical of urban residential buildings. The most recent comprehensive safety improvements, including the successful completion of the soft-story retrofit program, suggest proactive property management, though prospective tenants should note the building's vintage status and the historical pattern of maintenance issues that have since been resolved.
