1108-1110 Tennessee St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit residential building at 1108-1110 Tennessee Street is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Michael L & Natasha E Eklun. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive renovation in 2022 that included adding a new apartment unit, kitchen and bath, installing two gas heating units, raising ceiling height at the breezeway, and implementing new fire safety measures. This renovation, valued at $145,000, was followed by the installation of 14 new fire sprinklers throughout the ground floor in accordance with NFPA standards, with additional work including the installation of a sprinkler monitoring system completed in 2023.

Other substantial improvements include a bathroom and kitchen remodeling project in July 2022, complete with new utilities installations, and historical repairs to exterior stairs completed in 2007, which had previously generated some permit violations and complaints in 2005 related to unauthorized concrete replacements in a historic district. The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety and modernization, particularly through the installation of fire sprinkler systems and the addition of a new apartment unit. Earlier issues in 2005 regarding unauthorized stair replacements have been resolved, and the property has maintained compliance with building codes since.

The building's history includes some minor infrastructure work such as reroofing in 2009 and various maintenance tasks. A noise complaint related to entertainment was recorded in 2022, though it was closed with no significant action. The property underwent a vertical subdivision process through DPW, which was approved and closed. While there have been periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding the stairs in 2005, these have been addressed through proper permits and repairs, suggesting improved compliance with building regulations in subsequent years.
