1330-1350 Turk St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 3-story, 24-unit apartment building at 1330-1350 Turk Street in the Western Addition neighborhood, owned by Frances Lung Living Trust, has undergone significant fire safety system upgrades over recent years. In 2022, a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement was completed at a cost of $98,182, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms and new pull stations on each level. More recent work in October 2023 added a wireless gateway and control unit upgrades to enhance the system's functionality.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations and complaints documented between 2022 and 2024, particularly regarding sleeping area requirements and alarm systems, though many of these issues have been marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated." The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including three house trap replacements in 2010 and a significant unit renovation in 2020. However, there have been multiple tenant complaints about unauthorized renovations, particularly regarding unit #520 in 2020. Earlier building violations from 2001-2002 addressed various safety issues, including stair repairs, fire extinguisher requirements, and security improvements, all of which were subsequently abated.

Recent 311 calls in late 2024 have primarily concerned garbage, debris, and encampment issues in the vicinity, while multiple fire incidents have occurred, though none resulted in civilian injuries and most were attributed to system malfunctions or false alarms. The building has undergone routine safety inspections in 2013 and 2019, with another inspection occurring in 2024. A recent planning record shows window replacements in the front courtyard area, though project details are limited.
