2952-2958 California St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The four-story, eight-unit apartment building at 2952-2958 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Nancy M. Yee, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received two major updates: an upgraded fire alarm system ($47,031) to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements and the replacement of cedar shingles with hardie lap siding on one side of the building ($11,000).

These improvements included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and a new fire panel to enhance safety compliance. The building's maintenance history shows attention to roofing issues, with work recorded in 1988 and 2003, and a code compliance update in 1986. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges over the years, particularly in 2011 when violations were recorded regarding water heater and garbage chute repairs, though these were resolved within one month.

Historical inspection records from 1999-2011 indicate various routine inspections, including concerns about fire escape windows and smoke detectors in 1999, which were addressed. A fire incident related to a malfunctioning alarm system occurred in 2007, along with a temporary fire escape violation that was subsequently closed. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and tree maintenance, with the most recent activity involving reports of abandoned furniture in 2024. The property's historical maintenance record shows regular attention to both building systems and exterior upkeep, with recent permits demonstrating ongoing investment in safety and structural improvements.
