53 Eureka St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 6-unit, 2-story apartment building at 53 Eureka Street, owned by Thompson Oliva Properties L, was constructed in 1968 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent occurring in 2023 when a mandatory fire alarm upgrade was implemented to comply with California Fire Marshal Code, including the replacement of the fire alarm panel and installation of low-frequency horns in all units.

This upgrade is being completed in conjunction with an online electrical permit issued in August 2024 for similar fire safety improvements. The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, including a furnace installation in 2017, reroofing work in 1999, and various repairs related to fungus and termite damage in 1998-1999. Historical records show a cluster of fire safety and gas utility compliance issues in March 2002, including the need for gas shutoff tools, gas meter instructional diagrams, and manual door release mechanisms, all of which were resolved by April 2002.

The building has undergone routine apartment inspections by housing authorities in 1999 and 2002, with all identified issues being promptly addressed. More recently, there have been several service requests and street cleaning matters documented through 311 calls between 2014 and 2022, primarily relating to sidewalk cleaning, illegal postings, and urban maintenance issues in the surrounding area, though these were generally external to the building itself. A fire alarm system issue was reported and corrected in November 2008, indicating the building's responsive approach to safety concerns.
