3125 Turk Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 16-unit apartment building at 3125 Turk Boulevard in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by the Kane S & Maxine F Yee Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant safety-related improvements since its construction in 1961. Most recently, in 2022, the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade including low-frequency horns and smoke detector replacements, completed at a cost of $10,000. The building successfully completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Historical records show various maintenance and safety upgrades, including reroofing work in 2006 ($30,000), fire door replacements in 2009, and electrical system improvements in 2016. The building has experienced some notable safety and maintenance issues over its history, though most have been promptly addressed. A cluster of fire safety violations was documented in 2001 (all abated by January 2002), and more recently, there was a sleeping area requirement violation issued in December 2023, which was subsequently abated. The property has undergone routine safety inspections in 2001, 2009, and 2017, with all issues being resolved.

A concerning incident occurred in 1994 regarding roof pipe fumes affecting tenant health, which was investigated and resolved. The most recent complaint from September 2024 raised concerns about an expired elevator permit (from 2022) and multiple broken mailboxes, though these issues are still in the process of being addressed as of the latest data from October 2023. The building has also been the subject of an investigation into illegal short-term rentals (in 2021-2022), which was ultimately resolved. The property has consistently maintained basic safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of multiple fire safety upgrades and compliance with building codes, though recent elevator permit issues suggest some areas may require closer monitoring.
