1251 Turk St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 1251 Turk Street property, currently owned by Rp Associates LP, is a multi-family residential building comprising 15 or more units in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood. The building has undergone significant infrastructure updates in recent years, including a major fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 (costing approximately $181,344) and the installation of new hydronic boilers in August 2024. The property has consistently maintained its safety systems, with regular upgrades to emergency communication systems, fire pumps, and solar panel installations (completed in 2021).

However, there have been recurring maintenance and safety concerns, particularly in the last few years. Recent complaints from 2024 indicate issues with water quality, including reports of dirty water and leaks, as well as concerns about locked emergency exits. The building experienced significant hot water system problems in late 2021, affecting senior residents.

Historical violations from 2016-2018 included issues with drainage pipes, ceiling damage, and lead paint hazards, though these were marked as abated. The fire safety record shows multiple alarm incidents, though most were false alarms or system tests, with only three cooking-related incidents recorded. The building's infrastructure improvements are noteworthy, with recent work including backflow preventer installations, drainage system updates, and comprehensive plumbing renovations between 2017-2018.
