140 Julian Ave, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 21-unit apartment building at 140 Julian Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Mission district, owned by Del-camp Investments Inc and built in 1924, has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with all apartments receiving modern renovations, including units 207, 103, 302, 201, and 303 undergoing kitchen and bathroom updates between 2017 and 2024. Most notably, there are recent fire safety concerns, with open violations as of December 2023 related to sleeping area requirements, though a fire escape violation from October 2023 has been abated.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, demonstrating compliance with important seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance history shows regular updates to building systems and individual units, including a new steam heat boiler installation in 2011, multiple window replacements, and comprehensive unit renovations bringing electrical systems up to current code.

However, there have been recurring fire safety issues, with multiple fire alarm system complaints and violations between 2013 and 2023, including a sleeping area violation in December 2023. The building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, as evidenced by historical complaints, including a heating outage in 2011 and a significant sewage leak in 1997. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing issues with the surrounding area, including reports of garbage, debris, and encampments, though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions.
