830 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 36-unit, 6-story apartment building at 830 Bush St, owned by Wortham Revocable Trust and built in 1923, has experienced a number of significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most pressing is a currently open sleeping area requirement violation issued in December 2023, representing the most recent safety concern. The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including a $60,000 roof parapet retrofit planned for 2024, reroofing projects in 2016 and 1988, and multiple hot water boiler replacements in 2015 and 2009.

Compliance issues have been notable, with a 2021 violation regarding dryer vent installations requiring the replacement of ducts to meet code, and an ongoing rodent problem reported in May 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic systems, though not without challenges. Fire safety inspections have revealed recurring issues with alarm systems, electrical systems, and combustible materials, though these were generally resolved promptly.

Historical violations from 2004 included concerns about boiler certification, fire escape maintenance, and debris removal, all of which were abated. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years regarding street maintenance and debris removal, with the most recent related to a sewer issue being reported in September 2023. While the building has faced various operational challenges, it has also demonstrated an ongoing commitment to infrastructure maintenance through regular permit applications for significant repairs and replacements.
