316-318 Alemany Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 316-318 Alemany Blvd property is a four-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, built in 2007 and currently owned by 320 Alemany LLC. The building has experienced significant regulatory scrutiny and safety concerns in recent years, particularly in late 2022 when multiple violations were issued regarding unauthorized unit conversions and safety issues, including missing fire escape landings in units 3A, 3B, 3D, 4A, and 4B. These violations, along with several others related to fire safety and building maintenance, resulted in a series of correction orders that were officially abated by November 2023.

The property has a documented history of issues with its fire safety systems, including multiple false alarms, smoke removal incidents, and fire system malfunctions. Notable recent work includes the installation of a new fire sprinkler backflow prevention device in 2024, though there have been recurring issues with the building's fire safety systems that raise concerns about overall safety. Additional work has been performed to address egress requirements, including fire escape extensions completed in 2023, and various plumbing and electrical improvements.

The building's maintenance history shows periods of unpermitted modifications and safety compliance issues, though recent permits indicate efforts to bring the building into compliance with current codes. A 2019 complaint cited persistent fire alarm problems and insulation issues affecting resident comfort, and there have been multiple complaints about unauthorized unit modifications over the years. The property's planning records show attempts to address the legalization of additional dwelling units, though some proposals have been withdrawn or are under review.
