1855 Turk St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 9-unit multi-family residential building at 1855 Turk Street in Park North, owned by the Survivors Trust, has undergone significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2024, multiple window and door replacements were initiated in Units 6 and 7, and the building received a comprehensive reroofing. A crucial safety upgrade completed in 2023 included the modernization of the fire alarm system to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, with additional electrical work in progress to install new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building has successfully completed mandatory soft-story retrofitting in 2016 (Tier 3), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Historical records show regular maintenance and prompt response to issues, including a health and safety inspection in 2008 that resulted in several violations related to fire proofing, water heaters, and dryer vents, all of which were abated within one month. The building has undergone various improvements over the years, including window replacements in multiple units (most recently in 2019 and the current work in 2024), roof work, waterproofing of roof decks, and sewer repairs.

A single building complaint was filed in May 2024 regarding roofing construction, which was promptly addressed. The property has experienced minimal serious incidents, with no civilian injuries recorded in recent fire-related responses, which were primarily due to system malfunctions. Regular inspections and routine safety checks indicate ongoing oversight of building conditions, with most recent violations being quickly resolved and no active issues currently outstanding.
