1164-1166 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1164-1166 Alabama Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Elan Martin Bernstein. The building underwent significant improvements in 2019-2021, including the legalization of an existing studio unit on the first floor with compliance to Ordinance 43/14, which required verification of lateral force resistance per 2016 SFBC Section 407.

During this period, the building received a new 200-amp service upgrade with three meters and underwent substantial plumbing and fire safety improvements, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system in the garage and the replacement of underground piping. The building experienced several maintenance issues in 2018, with two complaints filed regarding heating system failures and plumbing problems, including concerns about water heaters and various fixtures. These violations were all addressed and abated by May 2018.

Subsequent improvements included a gas furnace installation in 2018 and various plumbing upgrades. The property has had routine maintenance issues typical of urban buildings, as evidenced by 311 calls regarding parking violations, graffiti, and street cleaning, though none of these recent issues indicate any significant problems with the building's habitability or safety systems. The most recent building permits filed in 2021 related primarily to plumbing and infrastructure updates, suggesting that major structural and safety improvements were completed prior to 2022.
