1000 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 31-unit, four-story apartment building at 1000 Union Street in Russian Hill, owned by Tierney Trust, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in October 2023, emergency deck and roof repairs were required due to water damage, costing $92,000. The building has implemented multiple fire safety upgrades, including a complete fire alarm system overhaul in 2021 with new equipment, sounders, and monitoring systems, along with mandatory soft-story retrofit work completed in 2016 (Tier 2).

Significant structural work was performed in 2016 to reinforce distressed concrete walls, and a steam boiler replacement occurred in 2015. Recent tenant complaints have raised concerning issues, particularly regarding pest control and basic services. Between 2023 and 2024, multiple complaints about rodent infestations were filed, affecting several units throughout the building.

More recently, in December 2024, there were reports of recurring hot water issues in unit 301. The building has experienced several fire safety-related incidents, including violations of sleeping area requirements and missed inspections, though many of these issues have subsequently been corrected. There was also one documented cooking fire incident (contained) and four false alarms or calls recorded by the fire department, with no reported civilian injuries in any incidents. The property has undergone regular routine inspections, and while most violations have been resolved, some recent complaints regarding fire escape maintenance and utility requirements were filed in October 2023, though their current status is noted as "Not Active."
