1801 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 19-unit, 5-story apartment building at 1801 Franklin Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Susor Walter A Trust The, was constructed in 1924 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past few years. Most recently, in August 2022, the building faced a cluster of violations related to water damage that required repairs to various interior elements including cabinets, window hardware, door hardware, and ceilings, which were all abated by September 2023. Additionally, there was an unpermitted remodeling complaint in July 2022 involving units 401, 402, 502, and possibly others, which remains in an inactive status.

The building's fire safety systems have required attention, with violations noted in 2018-2019 regarding extinguishers, alarm systems, exit maintenance, and standpipe maintenance, though all have been abated. A significant electrical upgrade was completed in 2003 involving new feeders and panel work. Recent activity in 2024 has included multiple 311 calls related to building maintenance and neighborhood issues, such as graffiti removal, sidewalk cleaning, and noise complaints.

The building has experienced several emergency service calls between 2019-2024 for various non-fire related incidents, including elevator rescues, smoke detector issues, and a gas leak, though no civilian injuries were reported in any of these incidents. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing building code violations and safety concerns, with most issues being resolved through subsequent repairs or corrections, though some complaints have taken multiple years to fully resolve, such as the water leak complaint from 2022. The most recent building permit on record from July 2022 involved a kitchen remodel to address specific compliance issues.
