3155 Turk Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3155 Turk Blvd, owned by Henry & Shook Ping Hong Fam, has been standing since 1960 in the Lone Mountain neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance works, including a $14,500 reroofing project in 2016, though an earlier reroofing permit from 1996 expired. A series of concerning safety issues emerged between 2014-2017, particularly focusing on fire safety systems - with violations recorded in 2018, 2019, and most recently in July 2024 regarding alarm systems.

The building has experienced multiple false fire alarm incidents over the years, with the most recent fire violation being issued in August 2024. Historical inspections in 2004 revealed multiple safety concerns that were subsequently addressed, including issues with smoke detectors, emergency exits, and fire escape obstructions. The garage area has been a recurring site of maintenance concerns, with complaints in 2015-2016 regarding frayed and exposed electrical wires.

A 2015 complaint indicated unsanitary conditions in a garbage area, while other routine inspections have been conducted in 2001, 2004, 2009, and 2017. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic upkeep, including the most recent roof work, though the pattern of fire alarm system violations and false alarms suggests ongoing challenges with fire safety system maintenance. The property has experienced typical urban issues such as graffiti and parking violations in the surrounding area, as documented in various 311 calls between 2018-2022.
