200 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 200 Carl Street, owned by Mae Chu 1992 Trust, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the past two decades. The building's most recent work includes a completed bathroom remodel in Unit 102 (July 2024, $15,000), following a series of fire system upgrades in 2020-2021 that totaled approximately $42,000. These fire safety improvements included replacing the fire alarm system, installing new low-frequency horns, and updating the building's safety monitoring equipment.

Other major renovations have included a comprehensive reroofing project (2017, $59,690), window replacements (2015, $60,000 for 12 fire-rated windows, and 2004 for 68 vinyl windows), and the replacement of the sewer lateral (2019). The building has experienced various fire safety-related issues that have been addressed over the years. Between 2018 and 2023, there were multiple fire safety complaints regarding alarm systems, extinguishers, and sprinkler systems, with most being marked as "Condition Corrected." A violation for sprinkler system service from April 2018 was referred to hearing. Historical complaints include a 2006 plumbing issue resolved within two months regarding a water heater repair.

More recently, from December 2024 to January 2025, there have been several Recology reports of overflowing city garbage cans near the property, though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific problems. The property has maintained a generally active maintenance schedule, with periodic updates to critical systems and adherence to safety regulations. While there have been instances of fire system activations, including in July 2023 and earlier dates, these appear to be mostly unintentional or related to system updates rather than actual emergencies. The building's owner has consistently addressed both maintenance and regulatory requirements as evidenced by the numerous completed permits and resolved violations over the years.
