50 Cedar St, San Francisco, CA 94109

Built in 1914, this 4-story multi-family residential building at 50 Cedar Street (1051 Post Street as per certain records) contains 28 units and is currently owned by SF Multifamily 1 LLC. The property has undergone several significant upgrades and renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent being an upgrade to the fire alarm system in 2023 to meet current codes, specifically to install low frequency sounders in sleeping areas. In 2015, the building underwent a major compliance project to legalize an additional unit and install comprehensive fire sprinkler systems throughout, with associated electrical and plumbing upgrades.

There have been multiple unit renovations since 2009, including several kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades, and window replacements in various units. The building has experienced some maintenance and safety issues over the years, most notably a series of pest infestations (including multiple complaints about cockroaches and mice) and periodic complaints about infrastructure problems such as water leaks, mold, and interior surface deterioration. There was a significant cluster of violations in December 2000 related to interior surfaces, though these were all abated by January 2001.

More recent concerns include a 2018 complaint about bathroom leaks and a 2016 complaint regarding an unsafe stove and refrigerator. The building's fire safety systems have received ongoing attention, with the most recent violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements still showing as open. While there have been several fire alarm activations recorded by the fire department, including one building fire incident, none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's recent history (2023-2025) shows various neighborhood issues typical for the Downtown area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding encampments and parking problems near the property.
