925 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 16-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 925 Leavenworth Street, constructed in 1922, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a fire alarm system upgrade including new components to meet current fire safety standards, following a similar fire safety improvement in 2024 involving emergency lighting. The building has a history of addressing roofing concerns, with completed re-roofing projects in 2015 and 2016 costing between $8,500 and $10,000.

Seismic safety was enhanced in 2002 with a $100,000 retrofit. Tenant comfort and safety have been ongoing concerns, with multiple incidents of inadequate heating documented between 2002 and 2009, though most recent heating-related issues appear to have been resolved. The building experienced several fire safety violations, including blocked exits and emergency lighting issues, with the most recent violation in August 2024 regarding exit maintenance. Unit improvements have occurred, such as the complete renovation of Unit 16 in 2007, which included electrical rewiring and plumbing updates.

Historical maintenance issues have included problems with paint, lighting, and window glazing, particularly in common areas, as well as concerns about lead paint hazards. The property has generally addressed violations in a timely manner, with most recent fire safety issues being promptly corrected. Recent exterior maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, primarily relating to street cleaning and sidewalk conditions, though these are municipal rather than building-specific concerns. The current ownership, 925 Leavenworth LLC, has maintained a record of completing necessary permits and addressing safety requirements, as evidenced by recent fire alarm system upgrades and emergency lighting improvements.
