1440 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1440 Steiner Street, built in 1925 and currently owned by Meenaghan 2000 Trust, has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with the most notable being a $22,800 fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 to comply with fire code requirements, completed in October 2023. The building has seen substantial unit upgrades between 2017 and 2020, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units (1, 3, 6, 10, and 12), with costs ranging from $17,000 to $30,000 for each project. A major safety upgrade was completed in 2017 with a soft-story retrofit valued at $115,000, bringing the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The property has experienced several fire safety-related issues over its history, with multiple fire alarm system complaints and violations between 2007 and 2020, though most were resolved promptly. A 2019 complaint regarding potential foundation undermining from neighboring excavation work was documented, though it's noted as not currently active. The building has also undergone periodic safety inspections, with routine findings in 2008 identifying various fire and security code compliance issues, all of which were subsequently addressed and abated.

The most recent work included addressing fire alarm system compatibility issues in 2023, with one permit cancellation and one completion. Additionally, there was an attempted conversion of a garage area into accessory dwelling units in 2020, which was ultimately withdrawn. Two tenant buyouts were recorded in July 2020, totaling $52,135 for two tenants.
