1541 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 7-unit multi-family residential building at 1541 Sacramento Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Harter Family Revocable Living Trust, was constructed in 1916 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2017-2018 (at a cost of $70,000) to improve seismic safety, followed by various modifications to shear wall locations and hold downs.

The building's heating system has required ongoing attention, with multiple complaints about heating issues between 2021-2024, including problems with radiator gate valves and boiler permit renewals. The plumbing system has seen several upgrades, including backflow device replacement in 2016, steam boiler replacement in 2020, and various pipe work between 2012-2014. The property has faced several maintenance challenges over the years, including a cluster of violations in 2000 related to building systems and safety concerns, though these were all abated by August 15, 2000.

In 2018, there were complaints regarding unauthorized remodeling work in unit 6, and in 2015, issues with peeling paint and dry rot around windows were reported. The building's infrastructure maintenance appears to have been generally addressed, with records showing completion of reroofing work in 1991, window replacements in 2002, and various plumbing repairs and upgrades. The most recent building complaint from April 2024 relates to boiler permit renewal, suggesting ongoing attention to building systems is required.
