1801 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 14-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1801 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, owned by 1801 Leavenworth A2 LP and constructed in 1923, has undergone significant recent renovations focusing on modernizing individual units. Between 2020 and 2024, multiple units (2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12) have received substantial improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels, washer/dryer installations, and electrical upgrades, with the most recent work occurring in April 2024 in Unit 7. A notable building-wide improvement was the 2021 upgrade of the fire alarm system to meet current code requirements, including the installation of new wireless low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building has also recently addressed major infrastructure needs, including a house trap/building sewer replacement completed in August 2024. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the years, particularly during 2018-2019, when multiple violations were documented, including problems with heating system permits, mold and mildew issues, and the need for various safety improvements such as smoke and carbon monoxide detector installations. There was a significant complaint in March 2019 regarding potential asbestos concerns in the garage area during construction work, though this was subsequently addressed.

The building has a history of various fire alarm activations and system checks, with most incidents being false alarms or due to system malfunctions, and one documented alarm violation from January 2019 which was abated. Recent activity at the property has primarily focused on unit improvements and infrastructure upgrades, with no major violations or complaints recorded in the past few years. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to maintenance needs, as evidenced by the numerous recent permits for unit upgrades and infrastructure improvements.
