955 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 35-unit Legeorg Apartments at 955 Bush Street is a 6-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1916. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 with new detectors, pull stations, sounders, and monitoring modules costing $30,000, as well as the replacement of both domestic and steam boilers in 2020. However, there are currently concerning maintenance issues that have arisen in 2023-2024, including a building-wide hot water outage reported in September 2024, work without proper permits in September 2024, and two boiler permit renewal complaints in January 2025 that were resolved within a week.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its critical systems over the years, including multiple instances of boiler and heating problems, water leaks between units, and elevator-related incidents. There is an open fire safety violation from January 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements, though previous fire system violations from 2022 were promptly corrected. Historical maintenance issues from 2002 included multiple violations related to water damage, mold, and plumbing problems affecting several units. The property has a documented history of various building and fire safety inspections, with the most recent routine inspection initiated in 2023 still showing as active.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris management around the building, with multiple reports of loose garbage, furniture, and human waste that required municipal attention. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing critical systems through phased upgrades, as evidenced by the 2020 fire alarm system modernization and boiler replacements. While many historical violations have been resolved, the recent surge in complaints and service issues suggests potential challenges in maintaining building systems and responding to tenant needs. The property has experienced several fire department responses over the years, primarily for routine matters such as alarm activations and elevator rescues, with no recorded civilian injuries in any incidents.
