10 Moss St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-story multi-family residential building at 10 Moss Street, constructed in 1907, contains 4 units and is currently owned by the M Michael Scharlau Living Trust. The property has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with the most recent violations occurring in October 2024 related to fire alarm monitoring and sleeping area requirements.

Previous fire safety issues include violations in April 2023 for alarm systems and extinguishers, and multiple violations in May 2020 for various fire code requirements including sprinkler service and emergency lighting. The building has experienced frequent false alarm incidents, with multiple smoke detector and alarm system activations recorded, though none resulted in fires or civilian injuries. The property has undergone several structural and safety improvements over the years, including repairs to damaged studs and siding in 1991 and efforts to address foundation issues in 1990, though this permit expired.

A significant cluster of building violations was documented in November 2003, primarily addressing fire safety concerns, stair repairs, and security issues, all of which were abated by January 2004. Recent activity around the building (2024) has been characterized by external urban challenges, with multiple reports of encampments, sidewalk defects, and debris issues in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building-related case was opened in October 2024 for general building inspection services, indicating ongoing monitoring of the property's condition.
