1473-1477 Pine St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1473-1477 Pine Street is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1920, containing 2 residential units and commercial space, currently owned by Brian Weatherhill Revocable Trust. The building has a complex maintenance history, with significant recent activity focused on compliance matters. Most notably, in February 2024, work was completed to address multiple code violations, including infilling doors, replacing the furnace, and addressing laundry room modifications, with associated plumbing and electrical work continuing through April 2024.

The building has experienced three major incidents in its history: a fire in 1999 that required repairs (completed), and two significant code compliance issues in 2013 and 2022 concerning unpermitted construction and fresh air inlet requirements. In 2021-2022, the building was subject to multiple fire safety inspections and violations, though most were promptly corrected. The property has also experienced recurring fire alarm activations, elevator rescues, and occasional maintenance issues, with documented responses showing no civilian injuries in these incidents. Recent observations as of late 2024 indicate ongoing challenges with building surroundings, including multiple reports of garbage, debris, and encampments requiring city intervention.

The building's recent history shows active compliance efforts, particularly concerning heating systems and general maintenance, with most recent violations being promptly addressed. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, including bathroom and laundry facilities modernization, though some work has required retroactive permits and compliance actions. The ownership has responded to multiple violation notices, with recent permits indicating a focus on bringing various systems up to code, including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. While historical records show multiple fire safety concerns and violations, recent inspections note "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected" resolutions for most fire-related complaints, suggesting improved compliance with safety requirements.
