2640 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 6-unit apartment building at 2640 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill was constructed in 1958 and has undergone significant renovations over the past decade. The property, owned by Leavenworth Development LLC, experienced serious issues in 2005-2006 when multiple building permits expired and the building was described as abandoned and unsafe, with work left incomplete and the structure exposed to the elements. However, from 2009 onwards, comprehensive rehabilitation work commenced, including the installation of a new roof deck, facade upgrades, and critical life-safety improvements such as a new fire sprinkler system throughout the building ($30,000 in 2011).

Between 2010-2011, all units underwent substantial renovations including complete remodels of 6 kitchens and bathrooms, installation of new laundry facilities, and updates to electrical systems including new sub-panels and extensive lighting work. The building has experienced several fire safety system activations, primarily due to malfunctions, though there was a legitimate fire code violation noted in April 2021 that was promptly addressed. More recent history shows a relatively clean maintenance record with only routine issues being reported through 311 calls.

Recent inspections confirmed the building's systems are functional, though there were multiple instances of false alarms and system malfunctions in the past decade. The property underwent significant transformations to address its previous violations, culminating in the 2011 installation of comprehensive safety features including sprinklers, smoke detectors, and modernized utilities, as well as resolving all historical code violations by 2012. The most recent building permits and inspections indicate the property is currently compliant with San Francisco building codes, with no active violations or major complaints on record since 2021.
