1571-1577 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 13-unit apartment building at 1571-1577 Sacramento Street, located in Nob Hill and owned by SF Multifamily III Property, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1909. The building has undergone significant improvements and renovations in recent years, including mandatory seismic retrofitting as a soft-story building (completed in 2019), installation of a new fire alarm system in 2021 to comply with San Francisco fire code requirements, and various unit renovations.

Notable unit improvements include the addition of a ground-floor ADU (completed in 2018), and renovations in units 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 11 between 2016-2019, encompassing kitchen and bathroom upgrades, new appliances, and electrical systems improvements. Most concerning is a series of active violations and complaints from March 2023 that remain unresolved as of September 2023, including plumbing issues (non-functioning toilet, bathtub leaks, clogged kitchen sink), electrical problems (loss of power), and building maintenance concerns (windows requiring repairs). Previous building maintenance history includes some fire safety issues in 2019 (construction noise complaints) and various routine inspections in 1999-2005.

The building has undergone several infrastructure upgrades, including electrical panel improvements and plumbing system enhancements, though some permits show as expired or cancelled. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as parking violations, sidewalk cleanliness, and street maintenance rather than internal building conditions. During routine inspections and fire safety checks, no major violations were recorded, though there were some minor issues noted regarding fire extinguishers and electrical systems in 2017 and 2019, which were subsequently corrected or found to have no merit.
