1207 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story apartment building at 1207 Bush Street, owned by Mark & Sophia S Revo Cusing, contains 13 units and was constructed in 1911. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years, most recently including a water main replacement from the sidewalk to the building interior completed in August 2023 and a pending upgrade to the fire alarm system to meet current safety standards.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, with multiple violations noted between 2023-2024 regarding fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and sprinkler systems, though many have been promptly corrected or abated. Of particular concern was a July 2023 complaint about an allegedly illegal rental unit conversion from a commercial space, which was marked as not active following inspection. Historical records show the building has undergone various renovations and compliance upgrades, including seismic work in 1995 costing $65,000, multiple kitchen remodels throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and parapet reinforcing in 1988.

A cluster of violations was recorded in September 2004 related to fire safety and lead paint hazards, including issues with smoke enclosure doors, damaged ceilings, and fire extinguisher maintenance, which were subsequently corrected by March 2005. More recently, fire-related issues have persisted, with violations noted in 2024 regarding fire extinguisher service requirements and alarm system maintenance, though these were marked as abated. The building has experienced several fire safety incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, with most incidents being unintentional alarm activations or system malfunctions.
