1371 10th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1371 10th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by the Klein Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and maintenance projects since its construction in 1964. Most recently, in August 2023, the building completed a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade ($23,536) to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices.

The building previously completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015 (cost: $40,000) to improve structural safety. There have been several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including reroofing in 2011 ($9,000) and window replacements in 2005 ($3,014). The building has experienced notable safety and compliance issues that were addressed by management and city inspectors.

In September 2020, multiple violations were recorded related to fire safety, including problems with fire escapes, smoke detector requirements, and fire proofing materials, though these were abated by October 2020. There was a concerning sequence of complaints in summer 2020 regarding gas dryer connections, garbage bin issues, and fire safety concerns, which also received attention from both Building and Housing Inspection Services. The building successfully completed its soft-story retrofit requirements as a Tier 3 building, and while there have been several fire-related complaints (including blocked exits and alarm systems) across different years, all have been marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated." The property has maintained relatively good standing with only minor recent issues noted through 311 calls, primarily related to external matters like sidewalk parking and street cleaning, with the most significant recent building-related concern appearing to be the 2020 gas dryer connection situation which was subsequently addressed.
