1385-1387 Utah St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1385-1387 Utah Street in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1900, has experienced several concerning patterns of violations and maintenance issues over its history. Most notably, there have been multiple fire code violations recorded between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent violations in September 2024 related to blocked exits, emergency lighting, and evacuation plans.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in June 2003 and September 2008, covering security, plumbing, and fire safety issues, including problems with entry door viewers, fire extinguishers, self-closing exterior doors, fire proofing, and handrails - though all these violations were abated by July 29, 2003. The building also underwent reroofing work in 2002 costing $6,700, and had plumbing work done in 2008 to address water heater valve installations. The property has faced ongoing maintenance challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding graffiti, garbage, and debris, while more recent fire safety concerns remain a pressing issue.

Multiple fire code violations have been issued between 2019 and 2024, with some violations being marked as open, particularly regarding sprinkler servicing, emergency lighting, and evacuation plan signs. While many historical violations have been resolved, the recurrence of fire safety issues suggests an ongoing need for attention to building safety standards. The building's recent history shows regular interaction with fire safety inspections and violations, though the property has generally addressed historical violations promptly when issued.
