2255 North Point St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2255 North Point Street in the Marina district, constructed in 1929 and owned by Preston Properties LLC, has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades and maintenance work over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2018, including wall strengthening at the garage/storage level, with a total investment of $100,000. Recent improvements include a fire alarm system upgrade completed in November 2023 to comply with SFFD code, following a regular pattern of fire system maintenance with multiple fire alarm complaints dating back to 2006-2024 being resolved as conditions corrected or violations addressed.

The building has seen periodic unit improvements, including recent kitchen remodels in units 301 (2022) and 103 (2008), reroofing work in 1991 and 2022, and the installation of a replacement steam boiler in 2010. The property has a history of addressing building code requirements and maintenance issues, including three fire-related violations from 2002 (boiler issues) and 2008 (fire proofing), all of which were abated. A notable soft-story complaint file in 2022 regarding construction work during shelter-in-place orders, and another complaint about work beyond permit scope in 2022 were both marked as not active.

Fire safety systems have been regularly maintained, with the most recent fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 costing $52,751. The building's history shows consistent ownership attention to fire safety compliance, with regular inspections and prompt resolution of violations. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily been related to parking issues and tree maintenance matters outside the building. The property's maintenance record demonstrates ongoing investment in building systems and compliance with municipal requirements, particularly regarding seismic safety and fire systems.
