786 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 5-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building at 786 Bush Street, owned by Abuyaghi Properties LLC and built in 1911, has undergone several significant modifications over the past decades, with the most substantial being a 2010 conversion of a portion of the building from residential to restaurant use, which included various structural and safety improvements. The property has experienced multiple fire safety issues, with violations noted in 2020 for exits, alarm systems, and illumination, all of which were subsequently abated.

Most recently, in February 2024, the building received multiple building code violations related to gas utility shutoff tools and compliance affidavits, though these were abated by early March 2024. The building's maintenance history includes various improvements such as the installation of a fire suppression system in 2013, electrical upgrades including a 100-amp 3-phase service installation in 2010, and HVAC improvements.

The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2018-2022 regarding blocked sidewalks, noise complaints, and general street cleaning matters. The most recent building permit activity includes street space permits issued in 2016 and 2012, and while some older permits from the 1980s regarding storefront awnings are listed as cancelled or expired, they are no longer relevant to the building's current condition. The property has maintained active engagement with city inspections and permits, demonstrating compliance with most requirements, though the recent gas utility compliance issues highlight ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
