875 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94108

875 Bush Street is a 4-story, 26-unit multi-family residential building located in Union Square, constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Martland Fmly 2020 Tr. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most recent concerns revolving around water-related problems. In February 2012, residents reported dangerous conditions including no heat, limited hot water, and old electrical equipment.

Fire safety has been an ongoing concern, with multiple violations related to sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers between 2015-2022, though most were promptly addressed. A notable incident occurred in 2010 when no safety bars were found on a window, raising security concerns. The building's maintenance history shows regular roofing work, including a $20,000 reroofing project in 2011 and a boiler replacement in 2012.

A series of violations was documented in 2003-2004, including water seepage, radiator issues, plumbing problems, and security concerns, all of which were eventually abated. Recent activity (2024) has primarily consisted of parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of blocked driveways, though these are external to the building itself. A routine housing inspection is currently active as of February 2016, and there have been documented fire incidents, including a cooking fire and elevator rescue, though thankfully resulting in no civilian injuries. The building's plumbing and fire safety systems have required regular attention, as evidenced by multiple permits and violation notices over the years, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs in these critical areas.
