828 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The property at 828 Franklin Street is a seven-story, 87-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1983, currently owned by Mike Oneill & Sons. The building has experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a series of fire code violations in 2024 including issues with extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and sleeping area requirements. The building's fire safety systems have received multiple citations, with the most recent violations occurring in 2024 for extinguishers, standpipes, and sprinkler system maintenance requirements.

Past maintenance records show a domestic boiler replacement was completed in 2022, and backflow prevention equipment was installed in 2009. The building has a documented history of security and maintenance challenges, particularly between 2000-2009, including recurring issues with the front entry door security, elevator functionality, and garbage management. While many of these issues were addressed at the time, they indicate an ongoing pattern of maintenance challenges. More recently, there are active 311 calls from January 2025 regarding garbage and debris, though these appear to be related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself.

The property has undergone routine safety inspections in 2011 and 2018, and several fire-related incidents have been recorded, though thankfully none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history includes both completed projects and some expired permits, such as a 1995 roof deck modification and 1982 sprinkler system installation. The property has undergone various street space permits between 2008-2009, and a boiler replacement in 2022 represents one of the more recent significant system upgrades. While the building has experienced various maintenance and safety challenges over the years, many issues have been addressed through inspections and permits, though some recent violations regarding fire safety systems remain outstanding as of 2024.
