2893-2899 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2893-2899 24th Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Text O Mat Inc, has undergone significant improvements and faced several challenges since its construction in 1900. Recent notable work includes the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system in 2020-2021, comprehensive window replacements in 2019 (with three separate permits totaling over $61,000), and the restoration of top floor units 4 and 5 to independent dwelling units in 2018, reversing an unpermitted merger. The building has seen consistent investment in safety infrastructure, particularly fire safety systems, with the installation of new sprinklers in units 4 & 5 in 2020, though this work was initially issued as a permit in September 2020.

The property has experienced some maintenance and safety issues in the past, including violations in 2015 related to fire safety equipment, combustible storage, and carbon monoxide alarms, as well as plumbing violations in 2010 regarding waste pipe installation. These issues were subsequently resolved, and more recent building inspection records show no active violations. The building's systems have been periodically updated and maintained, including a complete bathroom and kitchen remodel with a new tankless water heater in 2020, and extensive plumbing work in 2011 involving the replacement of a 15-foot sewer line stack.

Historical data shows multiple fire alarm activations, though all have been documented as either false alarms or system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries recorded. Recent maintenance concerns have been primarily external, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding graffiti on public property and a sidewalk defect, which are outside the building's direct responsibility. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing compliance with building codes and a pattern of proactive infrastructure improvements, particularly regarding fire safety systems and unit modernization.
