972-974 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 972-974 Harrison Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, owned by Jou Sz & Telson Carl and built in 1911. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, including a guard rail repair to the rear exit stairs in 2011 (completed), a complete electrical upgrade for all kitchens and bathrooms in 2006 (completed), and various other improvements such as roof replacement in 2002 (expired permit), door replacements in 1990 (expired permit), and multiple repairs related to dry rot in 1998.

A notable series of violations was recorded in 2003-2004, including issues with fire safety equipment, security features, and stair repairs, all of which were abated by January 2004. More recent inspections in 2020 revealed multiple fire code violations, though they were subsequently abated. The building's maintenance history includes a health and safety inspection in 2011, multiple fire safety inspections over the years, and various fire alarm and system activations, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage.

The property has experienced recent fire safety-related inspections in 2024, including evaluations of alarm systems and sprinkler systems, both of which were determined to have "No Merit." The building underwent a tenant buyout of $55,353.11 for two tenants in September 2019, and recent 311 calls from early 2025 primarily relate to street maintenance issues. The property has maintained active electrical and building maintenance records over the years, though some permits from the early 2000s and 1990s are recorded as expired. The most recent building complaints and fire incidents, including multiple false alarms and system malfunctions, suggest ongoing monitoring and maintenance of fire safety systems, with no recent violations or significant safety concerns noted in the past few years.
