1785 Ofarrell St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, 11-unit apartment building at 1785 Ofarrell Street, owned by William E & Teresa Sol Call, was constructed in 1925 in the Western Addition neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years, with the most recent being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in September 2023, including new control panels, smoke detectors, pull stations, and sounders.

This building has a history of fire safety concerns, with multiple complaints and violations regarding alarm systems, extinguishers, and sleeping area requirements between 2007 and 2024, though most have been resolved or abated. Earlier maintenance includes reroofing work in 1994 and 2015, along with various electrical upgrades including kitchen remodels and outlet installations between 2015 and 2021. The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, though safety inspections in 2004 revealed multiple issues including broken windows, entry door problems, and mold.

Regular routine safety inspections record some concerns, particularly in 2008 when multiple fire safety violations were noted regarding the fire escape ladder, fire proofing, and central alarm system - all of which were abated by May 2008. Recently, in 2024, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues near the property, along with some concerns about parking violations, though these are external to the building itself. The building's management has generally responded to safety concerns, as evidenced by fire department closure notices showing corrective actions taken, though some historical violations required permits to resolve.
