41-43 Juniper St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The South of Market property at 41-43 Juniper St is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Thomas J & Kathleen O Fanuc, containing 4 units. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant events impacting resident experience and safety, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple fire code violations cited in October 2024, along with sprinkler system issues in September 2024, indicating ongoing fire safety concerns.

A recent complaint from February 2024 reported damaged floor covering in kitchen, bathroom, and hallway, along with problems of mold and rodent infestation. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system problems, with documented violations related to alarm systems in 2016-2019 and sprinkler systems in 2024. The property underwent significant work in 1998 to address fire escape stairs and bathroom legalization due to dry rot repairs, though these historical issues suggest past maintenance challenges. The building's violation and inspection history between 2003-2011 shows a pattern of safety-related concerns that were typically addressed within a reasonable timeframe.

In October 2003, multiple violations were documented regarding fire safety equipment, smoke detectors, and security features, all of which were abated by November 2003. Earlier complaints from 1995-1996 indicated serious maintenance issues, including missing smoke detectors, electrical problems, and water supply issues, though these were resolved by 1998. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate persistent sanitation issues in the vicinity of the property, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building complaints and fire violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining up-to-date safety systems, particularly regarding fire sprinklers and alarms, though immediate life safety threats appear to be addressed promptly when violations are cited.
