10 Gardenside Dr, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 10 Gardenside Drive in Twin Peaks, owned by Mckeever Properties, was constructed in 1968 and has undergone several significant safety upgrades over the years. Most recently, in December 2023, the building completed an upgrade to its fire alarm system to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, which included installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices. The building is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story structure, and completed its seismic retrofit in 2015, demonstrating compliance with mandatory safety improvements.

The property has seen regular maintenance and unit improvements, including recent remodeling of Unit 7's kitchen and bathroom in 2022 (with associated plumbing and electrical work), and similar renovations in Unit 8 in 2018. Historical maintenance records show attention to infrastructure, including reroofing in 2003, a storage tank installation in 2009, and termite-related repairs in 2008. The building has experienced several fire safety-related incidents over the years, including four documented alarm system activations (in 2023, 2022, 2015, and 2012), though none resulted in injuries or actual fires.

There were also violations related to fire alarm systems and extinguishers in 2022 that were corrected. While the building has had some residential service issues in the past, such as a "no hot water" complaint in 2002, these were resolved. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues like graffiti on mailboxes and sidewalk cleaning, which are typical of the urban environment.
