375 14th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story, 18-unit apartment building at 375 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Carol Louise Pohl, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1928. Most recently, in June 2023, the building received a $20,000 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent maintenance work includes boiler replacements in 2021 and a sewer lateral repair in 2019, indicating ongoing infrastructure upkeep. The building has faced several safety-related issues over the years, with the most recent concerns revolving around fire safety systems. A December 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements is currently listed as open, following a pattern of similar fire system-related complaints between 2023 and 2024, though most were resolved with corrections.

Historical issues from the early 2000s included multiple fire safety violations (combustible storage and fire escape maintenance) and plumbing/electrical concerns, which were all addressed by February 2003. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both major systems and fire safety requirements, with most recent interventions focusing on fire alarm system upgrades to meet evolving code requirements. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as garbage collection and graffiti, which are not directly related to building conditions.
