41-43 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 41-43 Carl Street, owned by Silverman Govan Tr, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, in July 2023, the building received a substantial fire alarm upgrade costing over $28,000 to comply with safety regulations, followed by additional adjustments in December 2023 involving the removal of pull stations and installation of heat detectors. The property has maintained its safety systems over the years, with the most recent fire-related incident being a gas leak that resulted in no injuries.

A comprehensive kitchen remodel was completed in 2021, including new appliances and electrical updates, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts. The building has a history of addressing safety and compliance issues, particularly around the early 2000s, when multiple violations were recorded in 2001 and 2006 related to fire safety equipment, building permits, handrails, security glazing, and stairs, all of which were subsequently abated. The structure underwent significant structural repairs in 2006, including repairs to stairs and fire alarm systems, following complaints from housing inspection services.

A major reroofing project was completed in 1992, and various plumbing and electrical work has been performed as needed. Recent activity at the property has primarily centered around parking-related issues, with numerous complaints about sidewalk parking and driveway blocking between late 2024 and early 2025, though many of these incidents could not be validated or resulted in citations. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both safety systems and living conditions, with the most recent major improvements focused on fire safety compliance.
