Multi-Family Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Certification | 5 Seymour St, San Francisco

A real-world safety compliance deployment by International Fire Inc. in Western Addition

Project Overview & Compliance Details

International Fire Inc. recently completed a comprehensive annual fire extinguisher inspection, maintenance, and official Title 19 certification tagging deployment for the Gleeson-Cogen multi-family residential building located at 5 Seymour Street in the Western Addition neighborhood of San Francisco, CA (ZIP 94115).

Multi-unit residential properties across San Francisco carry a strict legal obligation under California Code of Regulations Title 19 and San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) mandates to ensure all emergency life-safety equipment remains fully certified and accessible. Our State Fire Marshal-licensed technician conducted a physical audit of both wall-bracket mounted Amerex units and cabinet-housed Badger dry chemical fire extinguishers distributed across common hallways, stairwells, and utility rooms.

The Property's Compliance Needs

The building management at 5 Seymour Street requested an annual fire safety audit to satisfy mandatory annual inspection deadlines and verify code compliance prior to upcoming SFFD fire marshal site reviews. Portable fire extinguishers in high-density residential buildings are subject to heavy wear, potential tampering, or pressure loss over time.

Our Inspection & Certification Process

  • Physical Inspection & Pressure Verification: Examined gauge indicators to confirm green-zone operating pressure (195 PSI), inspected discharge hoses and nozzles for cracks or obstructions, and verified pull-pin tamper seals.
  • Mounting & Distribution Audit: Verified wall brackets and recessed cabinet enclosures to ensure extinguishers were securely positioned at compliant heights in accordance with NFPA 10 distribution guidelines.
  • Official State Fire Marshal Tagging: Attached official California State Fire Marshal annual inspection tags (License EE 20911) stamped for August 2026, confirming valid certification through August 2027.
  • Documentation & Logging: Provided detailed digital compliance reports to building management for property record-keeping and fire marshal review.

Why This Matters for SF Property Owners

Keeping portable fire extinguishers properly tagged and inspected protects multi-family building occupants, prevents costly SFFD fire marshal compliance citations, and fulfills essential commercial property insurance requirements.
