1845 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1845 Franklin Street is a 6-story, 30-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Number 1845 Holdings LLC. The building has undergone significant recent fire safety improvements, with the most recent modification occurring in June 2024 involving the removal of a manual pull station and strobe on the first floor. A major fire alarm system upgrade was completed in 2022 at a cost of $90,000 to replace devices and control panels to comply with updated fire code requirements, followed by additional fire safety modifications in early 2023.

The property has experienced recurring fire code violations in recent years, with the most recent violations documented in October and November 2023 including issues with sleeping area requirements, sprinkler services, and various fire safety features, though many of these violations have been subsequently abated. The building's maintenance history shows regular unit upgrades, particularly between 2007-2016, with multiple apartments receiving kitchen and bathroom remodels including Units 606, 704, 405, 603, 602, and 404. A hot water boiler replacement was completed in 2021, and the building underwent street space and sidewalk repairs in 2014.

While there have been some historical concerns regarding building systems, such as elevator issues in 2002 and a heating violation in 2011, these problems appear to have been resolved. The property has had several recent 311 calls regarding street cleaning and debris removal in 2024, though these are primarily related to public areas outside the building. Additionally, there was one instance of a renter operating an unpermitted jewelry repair business, which was subsequently abated.
