191 Frederick St, San Francisco, CA 94117

191 Frederick Street is a 4-story, 29-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Ralston Capital-sf Multifam. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a complete fire alarm system upgrade in 2018 ($40,000) and the recent installation of a new boiler system in March 2023, though there was a minor compliance issue regarding the boiler permit in August 2023 that was quickly resolved. The building has experienced consistent unit improvements, with multiple apartments receiving kitchen and bathroom remodels between 2008 and 2021, including recent work in Unit 23 ($45,000) to address a complaint from December 2021.

The building has a mixed history of maintenance and safety compliance. While recent fire safety improvements have been implemented, there have been several fire alarm system malfunction incidents recorded, along with periodic fire safety inspections noting issues with alarm systems and sprinklers. Notable historical issues include a cornice failure in 2010 that posed a public hazard, rodent infestation complaints in 2010, and concerns about unauthorized construction work in 2011.

The property also experienced some building code violation issues in 2002 regarding security requirements, though these were resolved. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2021 for $15,000. Recent maintenance challenges have primarily involved external issues such as graffiti and debris on surrounding property, which have been documented in 311 calls throughout 2024.
