1840 Turk St, San Francisco, CA 94115
The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1840 Turk Street, built in 1927 and currently owned by Mid Equity LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning are the current plumbing problems, with active complaints as of January 2025 regarding leaks from 1 1/4" copper pipes in the second-floor hall ceiling and multiple leaking pipes in the garage that have persisted since April 2024. The building underwent mandatory soft-story seismic strengthening work in 2017, costing over $144,000, which has been completed.
A series of fire safety inspections between 2016 and 2022 revealed recurring issues with extinguishers and exit maintenance, though these were generally marked as "Condition Corrected" upon follow-up. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural elements, with roof repairs documented in 1991 and 1994, and various stair repairs in 1995 and 2005. A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in June 2005, addressing multiple issues including fire proofing, damaged walls, security requirements, and lead paint concerns, though all were abated by September 2005.
More recent historical data shows periodic issues with garbage and debris management outside the building, particularly notable in late 2024, and routine safety inspections have been carried out in 2009, 2011, and 2019. The building has experienced various fire-related incidents, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries, with most being related to false alarms, detector malfunctions, or minor kitchen incidents. Recent maintenance work includes a street space permit in 2018 and a 2025 plumbing repair, though there has been some ongoing concern about the condition of the water heater according to December 2024 complaints. The property has also had multiple 311 calls regarding garbage issues between late 2024 and early 2025, indicating possible ongoing concerns with waste management around the building.
