799 Beach St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 799 Beach Street in Russian Hill (built in 1933) is currently owned by Etcheverry LLC. The property has undergone several significant modifications over the years, including a recent proposal in June 2024 to convert an existing first-floor office space into a dwelling unit under the commercial to residential adaptive reuse program.

In 2018-2019, multiple fire safety improvements were attempted, though there were some permit issues including a cancelled fire alarm system installation in January 2018 and a cancelled life safety upgrade in June 2018. The building experienced several fire safety incidents and violations between 2017 and 2019, including issues with alarm systems, extinguishers, and sprinkler systems, though most were corrected promptly. Recent activity shows ongoing maintenance and adaptation efforts, including a ground floor conversion from storage room to retail space in 2004, window replacements in 2006, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades.

The building has experienced some operational challenges, including a boiler permit issue in 2019 that was resolved by June 2020, and there were multiple complaints about construction noise and generator operation in 2019. More recently, in early 2025, there have been several reports of garbage debris and scooter-related sidewalk blockages in the vicinity of the property, though these are primarily street-level issues. The property has undergone regular routine inspections over the years, with the most recent fire safety complaints in October 2022 regarding alarm systems and extinguishers being resolved with corrected conditions.
