2213-2241 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 32-unit, three-story apartment building at 2213-2241 Market Street, built in 1909 and owned by Ralston Capital-sf Multifam, has undergone significant recent renovation and compliance work, including a major seismic retrofit completed in 2020 as a Tier 4 soft-story building. The most recent substantial work, filed in August 2023, involves splitting apartment 2237A into a separate unit and ADU, complete with new kitchen, laundry facilities, and electrical/plumbing work, though this permit is still listed as filed.

Numerous improvements have been made to the building's systems and accessibility features in recent years, including a comprehensive fire alarm system retrofit initiated in December 2023, ADA accessibility upgrades, and commercial space modifications for a European Wax Center business. The building has faced recurring fire safety inspection issues, with violations noted in 2023-2024 regarding sleeping area requirements, exits/storage pathways, and alarm system maintenance - all of which have been corrected except for the most recent sleeping area violation from November 2023.

Historical records from 2006 show interior surface and lead hazard concerns that were subsequently resolved. The property has experienced periodic issues with vacant commercial storefronts between 2018-2020, and there have been multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding garbage and debris, though these were typically resolved promptly. Recent fire incidents (gas leak in 2023, false alarms) and several fire-related complaints have been documented, though most were either found to have no merit or were promptly corrected, including a significant September 2023 complaint regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems.
