1955 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 15-unit multi-family residential building at 1955 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, built in 1924 and currently owned by 1955 Leavenworth A2 Lp, has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 to meet current codes, which included the installation of new wireless low frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The property has seen extensive unit upgrades between 2019-2022, including kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations in multiple units (11, 12, 14, 21, 24, 31, 35, and 36), often incorporating new washers/dryers and modern appliances, with associated plumbing and electrical work to bring each unit up to current codes. The building completed its Tier 2 soft story seismic retrofit requirements, receiving a Certificate of Final Completion. Historically, the building faced some regulatory challenges in 2019 regarding boiler operation permits, with violations recorded for two boiler units that were promptly addressed by May 2019.

A 2012 complaint about heater noise was reported but marked as not active. Recent concerns have primarily involved street-level issues, with multiple reports in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris, including overflowing city garbage cans, though these are not directly related to building conditions or tenant safety. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to essential systems, including a steam boiler replacement in 2020, and consistent efforts to modernize individual units while maintaining compliance with safety regulations.
