1025 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1025 Bush Street building is a 4-story, 9-unit multi-family residential apartment building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Lai King Quan Properties LLC. The building has undergone several significant infrastructural improvements over the years, including seismic upgrading in 2003 (cost: $72,000), reroofing in 2016 ($21,000), and a compliance-related permit in 2019 ($1,000).

Multiple fire safety violations were recorded in June 2017 regarding alarm systems and sprinkler/standpipe systems, with at least one violation still showing as open. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and habitability issues, particularly evident in a series of complaints and inspections in early 2019. Tenants reported various problems including heating system failures, water leaks, window malfunctions, and pest infestations (bed bugs and cockroaches).

A significant cluster of violations was documented on April 16, 2010, including issues with water damage, egress obstruction, security requirements, weatherproofing, and lead paint hazards, though these were all abated by June 21, 2010. The building has had multiple fire incidents recorded, primarily involving smoke detector activations and cooking-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and there were three instances of alarm system activation or maintenance issues noted between 2017-2018. Recent activity around the property has been primarily related to garbage and debris issues, with nine separate incidents reported between July and November 2024, all of which were resolved by city services.
