1200-1202 Treat Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 12-unit, three-story apartment building at 1200-1202 Treat Ave in the Inner Mission, built in 1900 and owned by Raymond R Hartman Tr, has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, between 2017-2019, the property was modified to add three new ADU units on the ground floor, along with comprehensive fire safety improvements including the installation of a new fire alarm system, sprinkler monitoring system, low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, and a 43-sprinkler installation throughout the ground floor. The building's infrastructure improvements continued with extensive plumbing upgrades in 2020, including the installation of new fixtures across multiple units and the replacement of various systems including water heaters and boilers.

Recent history shows some ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, most notably a series of building complaints in 2023 regarding persistent alarm issues, and a roof leak and water damage complaint from 2019 that remains active. The building has experienced recurring fire safety violations and complaints between 2015-2023, including issues with fire alarms, extinguishers, and blocked exits, though many of these have been resolved or corrected according to fire department records. Historical violations from 2016 related to smoke detectors, windows, damaged walls, and fire escape maintenance were abated by September 2016.

The property successfully completed its soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 building, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) status. While the building has seen systematic improvements to its safety systems and living conditions, there have been periodic maintenance issues and tenant complaints regarding various aspects of building upkeep, particularly concerning windows, plumbing systems, and alarm systems. The owner has made significant investments in upgrading the building's infrastructure, including electrical systems and fire safety compliance, though some complaints regarding building modifications and permit compliance have been reported. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues, which are not directly related to the building's internal conditions.
