3560 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 5-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3560 24th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Vincent P Branick Trust, was constructed in 1942 and has undergone several significant updates to maintain safety standards. Most recently, in August 2023, the building's fire alarm system was upgraded to install low-frequency sounders as required by current safety regulations, with associated electrical work costing $18,000.

The building has a history of addressing fire safety issues, including the installation of backflow prevention devices in 2009 and conversion from overhead to underground electrical service in 2004. A cluster of fire safety violations was documented in October 2001, including egress obstructions, fire extinguisher requirements, and smoke detector issues, all of which were resolved by November 2001. The building experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including a water intrusion issue reported in 2020, bathroom plumbing problems in 2006, and several routine inspections revealing various safety concerns.

While the property has maintained compliance with building codes since addressing the 2001 violations, there have been multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding exterior maintenance issues such as sidewalk debris and defects, though these are more related to public space than building conditions. The most recent fire incident was a false alarm due to system malfunction, with no injuries reported. The property's management has generally responded to compliance issues, as evidenced by the recent fire system upgrades and historical resolution of safety violations.
