672 Minna St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 672 Minna Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, owned by Giuseppe R. Marasco, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years. Most recently, there have been fire safety concerns, with violations noted in 2024 regarding alarm systems and in 2023 related to fire extinguisher maintenance. The building's fire safety record shows recurring issues with alarm systems and extinguishers, with violations issued in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024, although many were subsequently abated or corrected.

A cluster of building violations was documented in July 2003, including problems with handrails, stairs, fire escape maintenance, and various building systems, though these were resolved by August 2003. More recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including problems with the intercom system in 2013-2016, window security issues in 2014, and plumbing problems in 2012. Two significant building permits were issued - for brick parapet work in 1988 and to comply with an unspecified ordinance in 1996. The property has faced multiple fire incidents, though none resulted in injuries, primarily involving false alarms or system malfunctions.

The building's infrastructure has required regular attention, particularly regarding fire safety systems, with numerous citations for improper maintenance or non-compliance with safety standards. The most recent concerns from January 2025 involve exterior issues such as graffiti and debris, though these are primarily urban environmental concerns rather than building-specific problems. The building's inspection history shows regular scrutiny by housing inspectors, with most issues being resolved in a timely manner, though some recurring patterns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained its original multi-family residential use designation throughout its history.
