1610 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 13-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1610 Leavenworth Street in Nob Hill, owned by Gordon Family Corporation, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance since its construction in 1915. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (Tier 3) at a cost of $30,000, and upgraded its fire alarm system in late 2022 to comply with current fire safety requirements, including installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all devices to meet modern standards at a cost of nearly $24,000.

The building has seen extensive unit renovations over the years, including major updates to Apartments 6, 7, 10, 11, and 13 between 2011 and 2018, with improvements to kitchens, bathrooms, electrical systems, and plumbing infrastructure, such as the replacement of the house trap in 2020 and installation of a new steam boiler in 2013. The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns, with several routine inspections revealing issues such as exit sign requirements, door maintenance, and garbage area management, all of which were subsequently resolved.

Recent years have shown improved maintenance response times, though there have been multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris outside the building in 2024, as evidenced by several 311 calls. While the building has experienced multiple false fire alarms and service calls, there have been no documented injuries related to these incidents. The property maintains an active status with all major safety and structural requirements met, though recent complaints from 2020 about a broken window and 2019 concerns about garbage accumulation indicate occasional maintenance challenges.
