939 Eddy St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 36-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 939 Eddy Street, constructed in 1925, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades over the past decade, including completion of mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work (Tier 3) in 2018, installation of an Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System (ERRCS) in 2018-2021, and various fire safety improvements. Recent violations and complaints have primarily centered around boiler permit renewals, with issues noted in January 2024 and a historical pattern of permit compliance concerns between 2003-2020. The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, including multiple fire code violations between 2018-2024 related to sprinkler/standpipe systems and alarm systems, though most were promptly corrected.

Recent tenant complaints from 2022-2024 indicate ongoing concerns with building systems, including heating, electrical, and security issues such as periods of unresponsive management communication. The property has undergone significant infrastructure improvements, including a 2016 plumbing upgrade with sewer line replacement, hot water boiler replacement, and installation of a new 6" fire service line. Recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to building systems, though there have been some persistent operational challenges.

The building is currently under attention for three open fire violations filed in 2023-2024 regarding sleeping area requirements, exits/obstructions, and permit-related issues. While the building has met major safety upgrade requirements such as the soft-story retrofit, the frequency of recent complaints and violations, particularly regarding boiler permits and fire safety systems, suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. Recent activity in early 2024 indicates continued work related to affordable housing improvements at the site, though some fire safety violations remain open as of late 2024.
