2603 33rd Ave, San Francisco, CA 94116

The 11-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2603 33rd Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood, owned by 3111-3131 26th Street LP, has been undergoing various maintenance and compliance updates since its construction in 1988. Most recently, in September 2023, the building completed a $35,400 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with SFFC Section 1103.7.6.1, followed by a related electrical modification in August 2023 that included installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, with violations noted in 2024 regarding exit illumination, sprinkler maintenance, and alarm system maintenance, all referred to hearing. A significant cluster of health and safety violations emerged in 2017, including problems with stairways, fire-rated sheetrock, handrails, and various interior surfaces, though these were all abated by August 2019. The property underwent substantial improvements in 2010, including the addition of two children-accessible bathrooms and various plumbing and electrical upgrades, with a $45,000 investment.

Earlier records show the initial installation of a basement fire sprinkler system at the time of construction, and subsequent replacement of the hot water boiler in 2019. The building has had periodic fire safety inspections and corrections regarding extinguishers, exit maintenance, and alarm systems between 2015 and 2024, with most issues being promptly resolved. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the exterior and surrounding area, including reports of abandoned furniture and garbage, these were generally minor and have been resolved through normal municipal processes.
