1765-1769 Turk St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1765-1769 Turk Street in the Western Addition was constructed in 1914 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years. Most recently, in 2018, the building received a new roof, with work completed in December at a cost of $7,000. Earlier repairs in 2018 addressed dry rot issues in the rear siding and stairs, and in 2009, the property underwent various plumbing upgrades including new water lines for all units, waste overflow replacements, and plumbing work that had originally been done without a permit.

The building has experienced recurring fire alarm system issues, with violations documented in 2017, 2019, and most recently in May 2023, though these have typically been resolved promptly. Multiple fire safety concerns were identified in a routine inspection in 2003-2004, including problems with garbage storage, fire extinguishers, and security, all of which were subsequently abated. The property has a history of maintenance issues documented through housing complaints, including concerns about worn carpets, window problems, and electrical outlets in 2011.

Structural work has included stair repairs in 2009, and various roofing projects including one completed in 1989. More recent issues have primarily involved the building's fire alarm system, with multiple activation incidents recorded over the years, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. The surrounding area has seen recent municipal activity, with open cases as of 2024 regarding parking enforcement, a missing street sign, and a sidewalk defect related to tree roots, though these external issues do not directly affect the building's internal conditions or safety systems.
