Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 69-73 Pearl Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Gurren Rise L & Gregory J, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone significant renovations over the past decade. The most recent major work, completed in May 2023, involved a fire alarm system upgrade to meet current safety codes, including the installation of wireless low-frequency horns and updated devices throughout the building. In 2021, a bathroom remodel was completed, and in 2013, all six units received comprehensive updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels, new furnaces, and various electrical improvements. Of particular note is an active compliance issue from April 2023 regarding fire-related compartmentalization requirements in the basement, specifically concerning missing self-closing fire-rated doors that were supposed to be installed under a previously approved permit. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, including plumbing problems in 2012 that required attention to leaking pipes and sewer issues, as well as historical fire safety concerns that have generally been addressed through regular inspections and repairs.

The property has maintained a reasonable response to various building complaints and has undergone necessary repairs and upgrades to remain compliant with current building codes. These include addressing plumbing issues, upgrading electrical systems, and maintaining fire safety equipment. The building's management has demonstrated a pattern of responding to both routine maintenance and emergency repairs, as evidenced by historical records of fire alarm system maintenance, plumbing repairs, and major renovations. Recent work has focused on bringing the building up to current safety standards, as shown by the 2023 fire alarm system upgrade.

Risk rating

How 69-73 Pearl St's risk score is calculated
