799 Battery St, San Francisco, CA 94111

The 77-unit, 7-story apartment building at 799 Battery Street, constructed in 2015 and owned by Broadway Sansome Assocs LP, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its lifetime. Most recently, in 2023, the building faced violations related to sleeping area requirements and fire safety concerns, including problems with alarm systems, extinguishers, and sprinkler systems.

Building maintenance concerns have persisted, with multiple fire code violations recorded in 2020, and problems with the boiler permit renewals in 2016, though these were eventually abated. The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including the installation of new reclaimed water systems (2018), interior renovations (2017), and comprehensive fire safety systems including sprinklers and alarms during its initial construction phase. The building has also faced some tenant-reported concerns, including a notable complaint in 2021 regarding potentially malfunctioning devices affecting residents' health, though this was marked as not active.

More recent complaints suggested issues with ventilation and smoke in 2018, and there were multiple fire safety violations recorded between 2020 and 2024 related to various systems and requirements. While many of these violations were subsequently corrected or abated, the building shows a pattern of requiring ongoing maintenance attention, particularly regarding its fire safety systems. The most recent building permit activity as of November 2023 relates to fire safety work verifying existing sound levels in sleeping areas, suggesting continued monitoring of building systems is necessary.
