1418 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 11-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1418 Leavenworth Street in Nob Hill, owned by Mei Har Chin Yee Living Tru, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2023-2024, the building received substantial electrical system improvements, including the replacement of 12 subpanels and associated switchgear in August 2024, and an upgrade to the fire alarm system in January 2023 that included new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current fire safety standards. A fire hazard materials complaint was filed in July 2023 but was determined to have no merit.

The building has maintained a generally proactive approach to safety and maintenance, with regular inspections showing no significant violations. The most recent inspection in March 2024 noted no violations, following a pattern of routine inspections since 2000 that have typically resulted in compliance. A historical review of permits shows ongoing attention to infrastructure maintenance, including historical records of street space permits (2018-2019), sidewalk repair (2001), and reroofing (1995).

A single fire safety violation was recorded in 2000 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance, but this was promptly abated within weeks. While there was one 311 call regarding sidewalk parking in 2020, this was resolved without any direct connection to building management or resident issues. The building's recent focus on electrical safety improvements and fire alarm system upgrades demonstrates continued investment in resident safety and compliance with current building codes. The absence of recurring violations or complaints over the past several years suggests stable building management and maintenance practices.
