138-140 Germania St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 138-140 Germania Street in Hayes Valley, managed by Makan Germania LLC, is a two-story structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant safety improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2019 ($8,500) and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2016 to comply with current codes, which included the installation of new smoke detectors, manual pull boxes, and a fire alarm communicator ($6,909).

While the building's infrastructure appears to be regularly maintained, there have been ongoing concerns regarding the electrical system, with a notable complaint in 2013 about frequent power outages affecting unit accessibility and requiring management intervention. The building has a history of routine safety inspections, including one currently marked as active from 2011, and had several violations in 2007 related to fire safety equipment and gas utility requirements, all of which were abated by November 2007.

Fire-related incidents have been minimal, with only three documented events: two false alarm system activations and one carbon monoxide detector test that showed no actual CO presence. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) have primarily concerned external issues such as street cleaning, parking violations, and waste management, rather than building-specific problems. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to basic infrastructure needs, though the building's age continues to require periodic updates and system maintenance to meet current safety standards.
