3100 Vicente St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 21-unit, three-story apartment building at 3100 Vicente Street, owned by Rosano Properties LLC, was constructed in 1963 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years to maintain safety and modernize its amenities. Most recently, in July 2023, a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade was initiated, with work including new panels, communication systems, and safety devices throughout the building, representing a $78,829 investment in resident safety.

The building has seen consistent window upgrades, with three separate window replacement projects between 2019 and 2022, including 27 street-facing fiberglass sliders installed in 2022 at a cost of $95,000, demonstrating ongoing commitment to building maintenance. The property has experienced several fire safety-related issues and violations over recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an open violation as of November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, and previous violations have included blocked exits in July 2020 (abated) and alarm system maintenance issues in October 2018 (abated).

The building's history includes routine fire safety inspections revealing various concerns, such as extinguisher maintenance issues in 2017 and multiple alarm system-related violations between 2006 and 2023. While there have been no reported civilian injuries from any of the seven fire-related incidents at the building, including one contained cooking fire and several alarm activations, the pattern of fire safety violations suggests ongoing challenges in this area. The building has also undergone substantial infrastructure improvements, including voluntary seismic strengthening (2002), reroofing (2001), and exterior stair replacements (2001), indicating proactive management of building safety and structural integrity.
