223-225 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 9-unit, 3-story apartment building at 223 Leavenworth Street in the Tenderloin, owned by Boschetti G Paul, has a lengthy and concerning history dating back to its 1915 construction. Most recently, in 2024, multiple fire violations were documented, including issues with sleeping area requirements and emergency signage that were subsequently abated.

The building underwent significant repairs in 2012 following tenant complaints about a deteriorating exterior wall and damaged flue pipes, which were addressed through a completed $5,000 permit. Historical violations reveal persistent maintenance challenges, including problems with fire escape ladders, window frames, weatherproofing, and hallways requiring cleaning and sanitization, though most were abated by August 2012. Regular inspections between 1999-2008 and fire safety inspections in 2006 noted various violations, including issues with fire extinguishers, standpipe systems, and fire escape maintenance.

The property has experienced minimal structural fires, with most fire department responses involving false alarms, system malfunctions, and elevator rescues, suggesting relatively good fire safety performance despite the documented violations. Recent 311 calls from early 2025 primarily involved street cleaning issues such as graffiti removal and debris cleanup, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges in the surrounding area. A storefront transparency and security gate permit application is currently under review as of 2024, suggesting potential modifications to the building's exterior.
