2550 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The four-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 2550 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1964. Most recently, in 2019, the building received updates to its garage with the installation of new wood sectional doors and electrical openers, as well as the replacement of the boiler and storage tank system. In 2015, major works included roofing replacement and repairs to address dry rot and siding issues around the deck.

The building has a documented history of addressing violations and compliance issues; most notably, there were two violations in 2004-2006 related to unauthorized modifications including an east-side fence and greenhouse window installation, which were subsequently addressed through proper permitting. Several maintenance and safety concerns have been documented over the years, including issues with rear exit stairway configuration, fire escape functionality, and weatherproofing. A 2008 complaint highlighted problems with an inoperable door and sanitation issues in common areas, though these were eventually abated by 2011.

The building has undergone routine inspections and maintenance, including systematic boiler and water heater replacements in 2010 and 2019, and backflow device installation in 2013. Recent records from 2023-2024 show multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity, though these appear to be related to public street conditions rather than direct building management issues. There was one documented incident involving a combustible liquid spill, though no civilian injuries were reported.
