763-767 Tehama St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 763-767 Tehama Street is a two-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by City Life Apartments LLC. The building underwent significant renovations between 2015-2019, including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system with sprinklers and alarm monitoring, new furnaces for all units, and extensive unit remodels including kitchen and bathroom updates. These improvements, valued at over $500,000, were completed in response to numerous building violations and complaints from 2011-2012 regarding unpermitted work, plumbing and electrical deficiencies, and general maintenance issues.

More recent concerns have focused on fire safety compliance, with multiple violations reported between 2019-2023 related to sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and hazardous materials. While some historical complaints about basic services (heat, water, and appliance issues) were recorded in 2015, these appear to have been addressed during the subsequent renovation period. The building has a documented history of parking and sanitation issues in the immediate vicinity, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in late 2024 regarding illegal parking and sidewalk debris, though these relate more to the neighborhood than the building itself.

The property has experienced several minor fire-related incidents over the years, primarily involving system malfunctions and false alarms, with one noted cooking-related incident that was contained. Recent inspections in 2022-2023 resulted in both violations and corrective actions regarding fire safety equipment, suggesting ongoing attention to safety system maintenance. The extensive renovation work and fire safety system upgrades completed in recent years represent a significant investment in the building's infrastructure, though the recurring nature of some fire safety violations indicates areas requiring continued monitoring and maintenance.
