1375 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1375 Sacramento Street is a 3-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922 in the Nob Hill neighborhood, currently owned by the Bleecher Snyder Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades in recent years, most notably including three recent sewer backups through the 4-inch vent in 2023 (October, November, and December), prompting attention to the building's plumbing systems.

The property successfully completed mandatory seismic safety improvements as a Tier 3 soft-story retrofit, which included anchoring the building to its foundation, upgrading walls to wood-framed shearwalls with plywood anchor bolts and holdowns, and adding special moment frames in 2015. Recent fire safety improvements include a comprehensive upgrade to the fire alarm system completed in October 2023, bringing the building into compliance with San Francisco Fire Code requirements by installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices with a new fire alarm control panel. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to essential systems, including a complete water heater installation in 2019, steam boiler decommissioning in 2019, and backflow device installation in 2013.

Several apartment units have received interior upgrades, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, with Units 1, 2, 3, and 4 having heat pumps installed in 2020. Historical violations from 2000-2017 have been resolved, including issues with fire proofing, self-closing doors, smoke enclosure door closers, and security devices, many of which were addressed during routine safety inspections and regular maintenance. Recent maintenance issues primarily concern the building's sewer system, with multiple reports of backups through the sewer vent in 2023, which may require further attention to ensure the reliable functioning of the building's plumbing infrastructure.
