819-831 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The four-story, 32-unit multi-family residential building at 819-831 Sacramento Street, owned by Broadwell LLC and constructed in 1908, has undergone significant safety system upgrades in recent years. Between 2020-2024, major fire alarm system improvements were implemented, including the installation of wireless monitoring, low-frequency sounders, and radio monitoring, with the most recent work being issued in May 2024.

However, the building currently has two open fire violations from 2023/2024 regarding the alarm system maintenance and sleeping area requirements. There is a concerning pattern of fire code violations, with multiple citations issued between 2017 and 2024, though the specific nature of the 2024 violation remains unaddressed. The property has experienced persistent issues with vacant storefronts, particularly between 2022 and 2024, affecting units 821, 823, 825, and 829, with the most recent active code enforcement complaint filed in February 2024.

Previous building violations from October 2013, though abated, included serious concerns such as rodent infestation, water heater temperature issues, and problems with fire escapes and security doors. The building's maintenance history shows significant improvements, particularly with Unit #48's 2017 kitchen and bath remodel and retail space improvements in 2015. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to sidewalk conditions and graffiti on nearby infrastructure, rather than building-specific issues, though they do suggest ongoing challenges with the property's immediate surroundings.
