350 Noe St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 9-unit multi-family residential building at 350 Noe St, owned by Giacomo Franco Family Partners, is a 3-story structure built in 1927 located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past few years, most notably a comprehensive fire safety upgrade in 2021 that included the installation of new low-frequency sounders, smoke detectors, pull stations, and notification appliances, along with a subsequent fire system replacement to meet 2021 fire code requirements. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent maintenance work includes the installation of tankless water heaters in 2022 and a complete water system repiping in 2009. The building has a history of fire alarm system maintenance, with records showing two incidents in 2005 and 2022 where conditions were corrected. The property has experienced recurring issues with fire escape maintenance, as evidenced by both complaints and violations in 2001 and 2023 regarding the fire escape drop ladder condition, though these were marked as not active.

Multiple violations and complaints were filed in July and August 2023 related to building safety compliance requirements, including fire extinguisher maintenance and gas utility shutoff tool provisions, though these were also eventually abated. The building has undergone various improvements to individual units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2016 and 2011, window replacements, and roofing work in 2006. The surrounding area has experienced periodic street cleaning issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily relating to debris and waste removal, with the most recent calls in 2024. The building's management has generally addressed maintenance issues as they arise, though the frequency of recent complaints suggests ongoing attention to fire safety compliance is needed.
