447-449 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94133

447-449 Greenwich Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1926 in Telegraph Hill, currently containing three units and owned by Robert J & Kelly J Kaplan R. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the past decade.

Between 2013-2014, substantial improvements were made including garage upgrades, window replacements, and the installation of new utilities, with the entire building receiving three tankless water heaters. The building has experienced several compliance issues, most notably in 2014 when a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted construction at the basement level, leading to additional revisions and the removal of unauthorized kitchen and bathroom facilities, while also generating multiple building code violations that were eventually abated. More recent history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, with particular attention to fire safety systems.

A sleeping area violation was issued in November 2023, and there have been previous fire system-related complaints in 2016, 2017, and 2023, most of which were resolved with conditions corrected. The building has shown responsiveness to maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2013-2014, including bathroom remodels, furnace replacements, and comprehensive electrical system improvements. The property has experienced typical urban issues such as tree root damage to sidewalks and periodic parking enforcement matters, as documented in 311 calls, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability.
