2645 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2645 Market Street in Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights, owned by Oliva Fortunata L Est Of, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2023 and continuing into 2024, the building is undergoing mandatory fire alarm system upgrades to comply with California State Fire Marshal requirements, including the installation of low-frequency horns and a wireless radio communicator across multiple units.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, including a fire escape issue in 2023 that was promptly corrected, and multiple fire-related complaints in 2021 regarding combustible materials, blocked exits, and an unspecified concern, though all were determined to have no merit or were corrected. Historical records show various maintenance and improvement work, including a reroofing project completed in 1999, termite damage repair in 1998, the installation of aluminum windows in 1992, and the addition of wall heaters in four units in 2008.

The building has undergone routine housing inspections, with a notable inspection in 2002 revealing multiple issues that were all promptly abated within weeks, including egress obstructions at fire escapes and gas utility shutoff requirements. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 have primarily involved external issues such as street cleaning and graffiti concerns, which were addressed by city services. While the building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety and compliance issues, the recurring nature of fire system upgrades and the brief period of fire escape concerns in 2023 highlight ongoing safety system improvements and challenges.
