835 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 26-unit apartment building at 835 Bush Street in Union Square was built in 1922 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance upgrades over the years, with the most recent being a complete sewer replacement in March 2024. The property has a history of addressing its infrastructure needs, including the installation of a new hot water tank in 2019, multiple unit upgrades (notably Unit #26 in 2017), and critical safety improvements such as a seismic retrofit with steel frame installation in 1998.

However, there have been recurring fire safety concerns, with violations noted for fire extinguishers requiring service in August 2023 and previous issues with sprinkler systems between 2015 and 2017, though most have been promptly corrected. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to plumbing systems, evidenced by multiple updates to fixtures across different units between 2017 and 2018, as well as significant roof work in 1996 and 2003. The property has experienced several routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent being a complaint in 2017 regarding construction hours in Unit #26, though this and other routine violations have been marked as not active.

While there have been multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street cleaning and parking issues, these are primarily external to the building itself. The fire incident history suggests most responses have been for false alarms or routine checks, with one documented cooking fire confined to a container and no civilian injuries reported. The building's management has generally responded to violations and maintenance needs, as demonstrated by the completion of numerous permits and corrective actions over the years, though the pattern of repeated fire safety violations indicates an area requiring ongoing attention.
