615-617 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 615-617 Greenwich Street, built in 1907 and currently owned by Greenstock I LLC, has undergone numerous modifications and faced several challenges over the past decades. Most recently, in late 2023, the building completed a sewer replacement project, and in late 2022, both a combi boiler replacement and a change of use from laundromat to commercial retail space were completed. Significant renovations were carried out in 2014, including a comprehensive retrofit of all five units, installation of a radiant heating system, and bathroom upgrades totaling $40,000, along with a failed attempt to add AT&T wireless facilities. The building underwent mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work, though it is currently listed as "Non-Compliant" under Tier 4 requirements.

The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues, with active violations remaining from 2009 related to heat, building permits, interior surfaces, and water damage concerns. Notable historical concerns include unauthorized work, such as the installation of roll-down metal doors in 2022 and interior modifications in 2022, though these complaints are now marked as not active. The building's infrastructure has been improved over time, including electrical system upgrades with multiple permits showing installation of new fixtures and outlets, though there have been past concerns about unauthorized modifications, particularly regarding telecommunications equipment installations by AT&T. The property has a history of fire safety-related incidents, with gas leak and water/steam leak incidents recorded but no civilian injuries reported.

Recent maintenance work has focused on plumbing and heating systems, with the most recent permits showing attention to basic infrastructure needs. The building's management history shows a mix of completed improvements and ongoing compliance issues, with particular attention needed to address the remaining violations from 2009 concerning heating, interior surfaces, and building maintenance standards. While many infrastructure upgrades have been successfully implemented, including bathroom modernizations and heating system improvements, the property's age and history of permit-related complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained an active response to infrastructure needs, as evidenced by recent completed permits for essential systems like plumbing and heating, though significant building code compliance issues remain outstanding.
