121 Day St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 10-unit multi-family residential building at 121 Day St in Noe Valley, owned by the Lee/wong Marital Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1964. Most notably, the building completed mandatory Tier 3 seismic (soft story) upgrades in 2015, including new foundations and shearwalls, with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. Recent safety improvements include a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement in September 2023 ($32,860) to comply with current fire code requirements, followed by additional fire safety enhancements in October 2024, including new smoke detectors, heat detectors, and low-frequency sounders in living areas.

The building underwent substantial maintenance and improvements in 2019, including repairs to damaged sheeting and stucco work, and has seen individual unit upgrades such as the complete remodel of Unit 205 in 2016 ($39,000) and Unit 102 in 2014, including modernized kitchens and bathrooms with new appliances and fixtures. The building has experienced several safety-related issues requiring attention over the years, with the most recent being a series of violations documented in October 2023 regarding fire safety equipment and emergency preparedness, though these were marked as not active shortly thereafter. Historical violations from 2006-2009 included concerns about fire escapes, gas heaters, and security features, all of which were subsequently addressed.

Fire safety has been an ongoing focus, with several fire complaints related to alarm systems and combustible materials being corrected promptly between 2006 and 2023. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, as evidenced by the completion of major infrastructure improvements such as reroofing (2006), kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units, and various system upgrades including electrical, plumbing, and seismic improvements. While there have been multiple parking-related complaints in the vicinity of the building between 2020 and 2024, these are external issues not directly related to building management or conditions.
