846 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 32-unit, 4-story apartment building at 846 Bush Street, owned by City Place LLC, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements in recent years. Most notably, in early 2024, the building completed comprehensive fire safety upgrades to install additional notification devices throughout the property, including LF sounders in all units' potential sleeping areas and a remote power supply, though a violation remains open regarding sleeping area requirements. The building has a documented history of boiler-related issues, with multiple complaints about permit renewals between 2018 and 2020, and recent complaints in 2024 about plumbing issues including slow drainage and water intrusion/mold problems.

The property's maintenance record shows regular updates to major systems, including the replacement of water heaters and boilers in 2011, 2014, and 2020. Historically, the building has addressed several critical safety requirements, including a seismic retrofit completed in 1998, though it faced some compliance issues with the Soft Story Retrofit Program in 2014 that were later resolved. The building's fire safety systems have received ongoing attention, with earlier installation of sprinklers and fire escape modifications.

Recent complaints in 2024 indicate continuing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing systems and water supply. The property has experienced recurring issues with boiler permit renewals, as evidenced by multiple violations between 2001 and 2020. External to the building, there have been multiple reports of graffiti and sidewalk maintenance issues, with the most recent complaints in early 2025. While most historical violations have been resolved, the property exhibits a pattern of periodic maintenance challenges that suggest ongoing infrastructure and systems aging issues.
