1035 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 34-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1035 Sutter Street, owned by 1035 Sutter I3 LLC, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges since 2020. Most notably, there has been consistent unit modernization, with multiple apartments receiving bathroom and kitchen rehabilitations, bedroom-to-living room conversions, and washer-dryer installations, including Units 2, 6, 11, and 32. The building underwent major structural work in 2021, including a $125,000 parapet and roof bracing project, followed by reroofing.

More recent concerns include recurring elevator issues, with a complaint filed in August 2024 regarding frequent breakdowns and extended outages, and hot water supply problems reported in August 2022 involving night-time shutdowns of the hot water system. The building has maintained active compliance with safety systems, though there have been periodic violations that were subsequently corrected, including issues with the alarm system (2021-2024), fire extinguishers (2022), and a sleeping area requirement violation (2024). Historical maintenance records show past concerns with hot water systems, fire escape equipment, and various building systems, though most of these issues were resolved promptly. The property has seen regular permit activity for both routine maintenance and larger structural work, including a new boiler installation in 2022.

Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily reported street cleaning issues near the property, including debris and waste concerns. The building's recent history demonstrates ongoing modernization efforts balanced against recurring infrastructure challenges, particularly with the elevator system and hot water maintenance. While most historical violations and complaints have been addressed, the frequency of recent elevator problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has successfully completed numerous unit upgrades and safety improvements over the past few years, as evidenced by the substantial number of completed permits and improvements to resident amenities.
