2201 Francisco St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, 15-unit apartment building at 2201 Francisco Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Woo Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years to address safety and infrastructure requirements. Most notably, the building completed a seismic retrofit in 2016 to comply with San Francisco's wood-frame seismic retrofit program, along with associated garage improvements including a new floor slab, shearwall and foundation work, and plywood panel installation in the basement. The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, with violations and corrections required for alarm systems and extinguishers documented in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, and most recently in October 2024.

The building's mechanical systems have been maintained with a new steam boiler installation in 2017 and backflow device replacement in 2015, though there was a period of unauthorized boiler operation in late 2016 that resulted in violations. Recent concerns include a 2024 complaint about improperly sealed tenant windows allowing construction dust infiltration, and ongoing noise complaints related to garbage collection. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, though several historical violations from 2006 regarding fire safety systems and fire escape maintenance were only addressed in 2007.

The property has undergone periodic routine inspections, and all identified violations have been marked as abated, including the most recent fire system violations from October 2024. The building's soft-story retrofit work has been completed and received a Certificate of Final Completion. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues in the surrounding area.
