90 Cumberland St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 90 Cumberland Street, built in 1925 and currently owned by Flahavan Fmly Trust 1995 Su, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (classified as Tier 3) and upgraded its fire alarm system in 2023 at a cost of $32,500. The property has maintained active fire safety measures, with multiple fire alarm upgrades and system improvements documented between 2022-2024, though there have been several instances of false alarms noting smoke detector or alarm system activations without actual fires.

Significant maintenance work includes a 2018 kitchen and bathroom remodel in one unit with electrical upgrades, window replacements in 2018 and 2014, and foundation improvements through a concrete cap installation in 2017. The building has faced some safety and maintenance challenges in its history, most notably in 2009 when multiple fire safety violations were documented, including issues with egress obstructions, fire proofing materials, handrails, decking, and smoke detector requirements. These violations were all addressed and abated by January 2010.

More recent plumbing work included a housetrap replacement in 2016, and there have been routine apartment house inspections conducted in 2002 and 2007 that resulted in no significant findings. The property has experienced two documented cooking fires (both contained, with no injuries) and several false alarm activations in recent years, particularly related to the fire alarm system. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to parking issues and street maintenance matters, suggesting ongoing urban challenges in the surrounding area rather than building-specific concerns.
