2 Falmouth St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2 Falmouth Street, owned by the Chan Family Trust, was constructed in 1912 and contains 5 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a comprehensive $60,000 renovation of Unit #2 in 2022 that addressed kitchen cabinets, water-damaged drywall, flooring, windows, and hallway painting. A major electrical upgrade is currently in progress, with a permit issued in December 2024 for upgrading the existing 80-amp service to a 400-amp service to support the building's 4 apartments, 1 house, and 1 store.

Historical records show the building has had various maintenance work completed, including reroofing in 2017 and window-related work in 2022. The building has faced several fire safety concerns over the years, with violations recorded in 2017 and 2024 related to fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and blocked exits, though most issues were promptly corrected. There were also multiple fire code violations identified in 2017 and 2024, including problems with alarm systems, standpipes, sprinklers, and commercial cooking systems, though many of these were subsequently rescinded. The property experienced one documented building fire (classified as "unintentional") with no civilian injuries.

Prior building complaints have included unauthorized construction in 2000 and basement renovation issues in 2010, both of which were resolved. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved routine street maintenance and parking issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and illegal parking, which were mostly resolved. The building's maintenance and safety record shows a pattern of addressing violations and maintaining the property, though the frequency of fire safety-related issues in recent years is notable. The recent electrical upgrade and previous unit renovations indicate ongoing investment in the building's infrastructure and living spaces.
