1045 Post St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 9-unit apartment building at 1045 Post Street, constructed in 1915, is actively addressing its fire safety systems, most recently completing a $34,991 fire alarm upgrade in February 2023 to meet current San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building has undergone several individual unit renovations over the years, including significant improvements to Unit 6 in 2021 (kitchen and bathroom remodel), Unit 9 in 2016 (kitchen/bath remodeling and window replacement), and multiple unit upgrades between 2002-2006 involving kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, and electrical work.

Historical challenges with water damage and mold were documented in 2012, leading to multiple housing code violations, though these were resolved by February 2014. The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm systems, evidenced by multiple fire complaints between 2016-2024, including a 2024 alarm systems-related complaint that remains open. A September 2023 open flame burning incident was corrected within a month.

There have been several fire alarm activations and false alarms, though no civilian injuries have been reported. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing concerns about the building's surroundings, including reports of garbage, debris, and encampments near the property. The most recent routine inspections and violations suggest that while the building is maintaining compliance with current safety requirements, there are ongoing challenges with both building systems and the immediate neighborhood environment.
