201 Duncan St, San Francisco, CA 94131
The three-story, 9-unit apartment building at 201 Duncan Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Crane Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1929. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3), achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements.
Recent safety upgrades include a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement in October 2024, currently in progress, to meet current fire code requirements. The building has seen substantial unit improvements, particularly in 2015-2016, when Units 8 and 9 underwent substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, with Unit 9 receiving new laundry facilities and a related direct vent heater installation. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, though there have been multiple fire safety inspections and violations recorded between 2009-2019, including issues with alarm systems, sprinklers, and fire extinguisher maintenance.
A routine inspection in late 2023 identified several compliance requirements, including maintenance of the fire escape ladder and gas utility shutoff tools, though these violations were subsequently marked as abated. The property has experienced some infrastructure issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and one related to flooding in early 2024, though these are external to the building itself. Historical records show earlier violations from 2000 regarding egress obstruction and combustible storage, which were resolved, indicating responsiveness to safety concerns by the management.
