899 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 5-story, 37-unit apartment building at 899 Green Street in Russian Hill, owned by Jamie Leigh Teiser, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the years. Most recently, in December 2023, the building filed for a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current codes, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. This follows a pattern of ongoing attention to fire safety, with multiple fire-related complaints and incidents recorded between 2018 and 2023, including issues with alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and a recent violation related to sleeping area requirements.

The building has a history of interior improvements, including kitchen remodels in units 501 and 503 (2009 and 2013), bathroom renovations (2005), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Notable violations occurred in 2005, primarily affecting unit 401, involving water damage, lead paint concerns, and electrical issues in the bathroom, though these were abated by 2006. The building has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services throughout the years, with the most recent inspections in 2016 and 2010.

The property has experienced periodic issues with building systems and maintenance, including a heating violation in 2000 and various fire safety concerns. Recent 311 calls from 2024 show typical urban building challenges, including parking enforcement issues and street cleaning matters, with one open case regarding a burnt-out street light. The building's maintenance history demonstrates ongoing investment in improvements and compliance with safety requirements, though the recent sleeping area requirements violation from November 2023 indicates there are still areas needing attention.
