325 Maple St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 325 Maple Street in Presidio Heights, constructed in 1906, presents a mixed maintenance history that includes both required safety upgrades and ongoing maintenance concerns. Most notably, the building successfully completed a $90,000 mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, bringing it into compliance with current seismic safety standards.

Recent maintenance issues include a currently active complaint from August 2024 regarding a backed-up garbage chute, and a recent fire inspection in January 2024 that found no merit to claims of blocked exits. The building has experienced several infrastructure upgrades, including a backflow device replacement in 2019, street utility access improvements in 2018, and a complete roof replacement in 2003. Historical records show a cluster of fire safety-related violations in March 2004, including problems with emergency exit lights, smoke detectors, and gas shutoff tools, though all these were abated by May 2004.

The building has had multiple false fire alarms and malfunctioning alarm system activations recorded between 2023 and 2024, though no civilian injuries were reported in any incidents. More recent building maintenance issues have been relatively minor and generally addressed promptly, including electrical system upgrades in 2003 and plumbing repairs as needed. The property management has responded to various infrastructure needs, such as providing new utility access paths and maintaining building systems, though some maintenance issues like the garbage chute problems in 2024 suggest ongoing challenges with prompt repairs.
