133 Shipley St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 10-story multi-family residential building at 133 Shipley Street, owned by Salvation Army SF Silvercrest, consists of 258 units and was constructed in 1973. The building has experienced ongoing fire safety issues in recent years, with multiple violations recorded between 2023-2024 related to sleeping area requirements, alarm systems, and sprinkler/standpipe systems. The most recent fire alarm improvement work, issued in March 2024 at a cost of $19,326, included elevator modernization and fire system upgrades.

Recent maintenance records show active work on heating systems, including boiler replacements in 2024 and 2020, and water supply modifications in 2020. Historical issues from 2003 included interior problems such as mold/mildew in bathrooms and floor covering issues, though these were abated within weeks. The building's infrastructure has undergone various upgrades, including significant electrical work in 2004 involving installation of numerous electrical components throughout the residential units.

Recent complaints in 2024 reported issues with steam heater controls, and previous ventilation problems were reported in 2015. The property has experienced periodic fire alarm activations, mostly unintentional or false, with no reported civilian injuries. There are also ongoing concerns about the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding encampments and street cleaning issues, though these are related to the neighborhood rather than the building itself. Recent permits and planning records indicate continued investment in building maintenance and upgrades, including a 2024 boiler replacement and various fire safety system improvements, suggesting active management of the property's infrastructure.
