3121-3123 Vicente St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 10-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 3121-3123 Vicente Street, owned by the Cafferkey Family Trust and constructed in 1990, has undergone several significant fire safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a major fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code Section 1103.7.6.1, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and a wireless communicator. A related fire safety improvement was completed in late 2023 with the addition of a waterflow switch.

The building has a history of fire safety compliance issues, with violations recorded in 2015, 2016, 2022, and most recently in May 2024 regarding extinguishers that have since been abated. Earlier fire safety concerns were addressed through various corrections, including issues with sprinkler systems, blocked exits, and alarm systems. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a roof replacement in 2012 and hot water boiler replacement in 2018.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a cluster of violations and complaints in January 2020 concerning various issues including roof weatherproofing, smoke enclosure doors, and structural maintenance, all of which were subsequently addressed. Historical records show that the building was fully sprinklered during its original construction in 1989, and has generally maintained compliance with safety requirements, though there have been periodic issues requiring attention. Recent maintenance requests from 2024 have included tree pruning and responses to parking violations, though these are typical urban property management issues and not directly related to building safety or habitability.
