The three-story multi-family residential building at 1277-1291 McAllister Street, owned by Grinsell Golden Gate LLC, is a 9-unit structure built in 1905 that has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over recent years. The building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $79,000, achieving Tier 3 status with Certificate of Final Completion issued. Major renovations have focused on unit upgrades, including multiple bathroom and kitchen remodels between 2017 and 2020, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling over $200,000.

A roofing project was completed in 2020, and the building underwent exterior improvements including new cement board siding installation in 2015, addressing previous complaints about peeling paint and lead concerns. The property has a documented history of issues and repairs, including a significant fire incident in 2001 that resulted in substandard conditions due to fire damage, though these violations were abated by December 2001. A rodent infestation complaint was filed in August 2020, and several routine safety inspections have been conducted through the years.

Fire safety systems have been an ongoing focus, with three fire-related complaints in 2017, 2016, and 2023 regarding extinguishers and alarm systems, though most issues were promptly resolved. Recent (2022-2023) 311 calls have primarily concerned external maintenance matters like garbage cleanup and street conditions, rather than internal building issues. The building's overall record shows consistent attention to maintenance and regulatory compliance, particularly regarding seismic retrofit requirements and periodic unit upgrades, while addressing historical fire safety and structural concerns.
