2240 North Point St, San Francisco, CA 94123

This three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 2240 North Point Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Chan 1985 Trust, was constructed in 1929 and has undergone several significant safety upgrades over the years. The property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, which included the installation of new plywood shearwalls and cantilever column systems, at a cost of $120,000. More recently, in February 2024, the building filed for a fire alarm system upgrade to meet modern standards, including the installation of new devices, horns in units, and a wireless radio communicator.

The building has a history of fire safety-related issues that have required attention, with multiple violations recorded between 2008 and 2023 concerning alarm systems and extinguishers, most recently in February 2023. A cluster of violations in 2005 related to fire escape maintenance and smoke detector issues was resolved within two months. The property has maintained routine inspections over the years, with the most recent documented being in 2011.

Other significant improvements include 1990-era aluminum window installations, 1989-1990 restoration work following earthquake damage, and multiple roofing projects, including one in 2000. A 2009 electrical survey was also completed, and the building received its soft-story retrofit Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) certification. A sprinkler system complaint was filed in June 2024 but was found to have no merit.
