1121 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1121 Bush Street property is a four-story, 17-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Cibas Properties LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement in August 2023 costing over $51,000, which included new control panels, smoke detectors, pull stations, and horn/strobe units. A sleeping area requirements violation was issued in December 2023 and remains open, while a previous fire escape violation from October 2020 was corrected by January 2021.

The building's seismic safety was addressed in 2001 with a retrofit of unreinforced masonry, though this permit has since expired. The property has a documented history of maintenance and habitability issues, particularly concerning water and mold problems. Recent complaints from 2024 include moisture intrusion/leak issues and concerns in common areas.

Historical complaints from 2004-2014 documented multiple instances of water-related problems, including leaks, poor water quality, and mold in various locations such as bathrooms, living rooms, and around fixtures. A notable cluster of violations was recorded in December 2001, addressing issues including inadequate ventilation, elevator maintenance, electrical problems, mold/mildew presence, fire safety concerns, and plumbing issues, though these were all abated by June 2002. The building has also experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris outside the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024, though many of these are related to street cleaning rather than building maintenance.
