1094 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 24-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1094 Bush Street, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by 920 Leavenworth 15 LLC, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges. Between 2018 and 2022, the building has seen substantial unit improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, washer/dryer installations, and a major fire alarm system upgrade in 2020 costing $65,000 to comply with safety codes.

Several serious tenant complaints were filed in late 2021, including issues with mold, electrical problems, and elevator service difficulties, with one tenant reporting health impacts including asthma and vertigo. The building has experienced recurring elevator problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints from 2018 through 2022, and there was a notable complaint in 2020 regarding inadequate cleaning and sanitation of common areas during the pandemic. The property has a history of boiler permit issues, with multiple violations recorded between 2007 and 2016, though these were all marked as abated by February 2023.

Recent permits show ongoing improvements to individual units, with the most recent significant work being the conversion of Unit 301's kitchen to a bedroom and rehabilitation of its bathroom in 2022, costing $77,000. The building's recent history also shows regular maintenance and upgrading of various systems, though some tenant complaints suggest ongoing concerns with management response to maintenance issues. The fire safety system has been maintained with periodic inspections showing no merit to complaints in 2018 and 2019, though one older fire-related complaint from 2018 regarding a fire alarm system was noted as having "No Merit." The property has had various 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal, suggesting ongoing maintenance of common areas is a focus for management.
