2265 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 2265 Mission Street property is a 3-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by 2265 Mission Street Prpts I. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements in recent years, most notably a filed permit in August 2024 to upgrade the fire alarm system to meet current code requirements, including new smoke detectors in common areas, exit horn/strobes, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms. The building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit in 2015 and has addressed various safety concerns over the years, including a comprehensive fire safety upgrade in 2008-2009 that involved replacing 16 sub-panels, relocating meters, and installing additional fire sprinkler heads.

Recent health and safety inspections in 2022 revealed multiple violations related to fire safety systems, maintenance, and access issues, though these were generally abated by September 2022. The building has experienced some recurring maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple tenant complaints between 2014-2017 regarding heating, plumbing, and electrical issues, including reports of no heat, leaks, and appliance problems. A periodic health and safety inspection is currently marked as active (filed February 2023), indicating ongoing monitoring of building conditions. The property has also completed various infrastructure improvements, including foundation work, roof replacement, and plumbing upgrades, with a new domestic boiler installed in 2019.

While the property has addressed many of its historical safety and maintenance issues, the presence of recent fire safety violations (as of November 2023) regarding sleeping area requirements suggests that some code compliance matters are still being addressed. The building successfully completed its soft-story retrofit requirements, achieving Tier 4 compliance. Regular maintenance and system upgrades have been implemented over the years, including fire alarm system improvements, though some past violations related to fire safety systems, including extinguishers and alarms, required periodic correction. The property has also been maintained through systematic upgrades to its electrical, plumbing, and fire safety systems, demonstrating ongoing investment in building infrastructure and safety compliance.
