1750 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 13-unit multi-family residential building at 1750 Franklin Street in Pacific Heights was constructed in 1914 and is currently owned by 1750 Franklin LP. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023-2024 to comply with current fire safety codes, costing approximately $40,000. The building has addressed important safety concerns through voluntary structural strengthening in 2018, including ground floor anchor bolt installation, and completed a soft-story retrofit process initiated in 2017.

The building has a history of maintaining its structural integrity, with records showing consistent attention to issues like dry rot repairs (most recently in 2013), facade maintenance, and regular improvements such as roofing work completed in 2006 and 1988. The property has experienced various routine safety inspections and addressed multiple building code compliance issues, particularly in 2004 when several violations were documented and subsequently abated, including fire proofing, plumbing, security, and fire safety concerns. Recent maintenance and repair work has included sewer pipe replacement in 2014 and various unit-specific improvements, such as a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit 1 in 2008.

While there have been some fire safety-related incidents recorded, including false alarms and equipment issues, these did not result in civilian injuries. A recent fire complaint from June 2024 regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems was found to have no merit. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both safety requirements and general upkeep, with prompt responses to violations and ongoing system upgrades to meet current codes.
