1201-1219 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1201-1219 Leavenworth Street multi-family residential building in Nob Hill is a 3-story, 16-unit apartment complex built in 1908 and currently owned by Rhl Ventures LP. The property has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a complete fire alarm system replacement in 2023 (with a new permit filed in 2024), completion of mandatory soft-story retrofit work (Tier 2) in 2016, and the installation of Ufer grounding. The building has faced some persistent issues requiring attention, most notably a documented rodent infestation reported by tenants in late 2022, for which multiple maintenance requests were submitted without proper resolution.

Historical building violations from 2001, including heating system deficiencies and fire safety concerns, were all officially abated by January 2002. The property has maintained active compliance with major safety requirements, including the installation of backflow devices for the boiler system in both 2007 and 2020. Recent fire safety inspections have resulted in some violations being noted and abated, such as a 2023 sleeping area requirement violation.

The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to exterior upkeep, with stucco repairs performed in 2016, though some complaints about unauthorized remodeling and unpermitted boiler operation were recorded and resolved in 2005. Emergency response calls have been minimal, primarily consisting of lock-outs, CO detector activations, and standard public service assistance, with no civilian injuries reported. The property has demonstrated ongoing efforts to address maintenance and safety requirements, as evidenced by recent electrical work (2024) and the prompt correction of fire safety violations when issued.
