704 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 41-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 704 Bush Street, constructed in 1916, has undergone numerous renovations and faced several maintenance challenges over the past decade. Recent significant issues include ongoing pest problems in unit 302 (reported 2024) involving cockroaches and mice, along with a window-related water damage issue (January 2024) that was subsequently addressed.

The building has seen regular improvements, including multiple unit renovations focusing on kitchen and bathroom upgrades (most recently unit 302 in 2024, unit 103 in 2021, and multiple units in 2018-2020), window replacements (notably in unit 307 in 2017), and various infrastructure upgrades such as electrical panel installations and roof replacement in 2014. Fire safety systems have required attention, with multiple fire alarm system activation incidents reported (most recently in 2024), and a recent violation regarding sleeping area requirements (December 2023). Historical violations from 2004 involved fire escape maintenance, boiler room ceiling repairs, and central panel smoke detector servicing, all of which were subsequently abated.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to plumbing needs, including various fixture replacements and repairs, though there have been some instances of work being done without proper permits, as noted in 2008. The property has experienced several fire safety inspections, with most issues being promptly corrected, and while there have been multiple fire alarm activations, no actual fires have occurred. Recent renovation work has continued to be documented through proper permits, including the most recent window installation in unit 302 (completed February 2024) which complied with energy efficiency standards.
