455 Eddy St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 15-story, 362-unit apartment building at 455 Eddy Street, owned by Central Towers Joint Venture, has undergone significant renovations and faced notable challenges over recent years. Built in 1964, this Tenderloin property has seen substantial interior improvements, particularly unit renovations, with kitchen and bathroom remodels completed in ten separate units between 2019 and 2024, including the most recent work in unit 807 in 2023-2024. The building's infrastructure has received attention, with plumbing updates including domestic boiler replacements in 2022 and 2024, and fire safety system modifications in 2020.

However, the building has experienced persistent infrastructure issues, particularly regarding elevator service, with multiple complaints about outages recorded in late 2023 and throughout 2024. Recent concerns also include active complaints about mold, broken appliances, and accessibility issues regarding the courtyard ramp. There are ongoing fire safety compliance matters, with open violations as of December 2024 regarding high-rise sprinkler system compliance and previous violations in early 2024 related to fire alarm systems and equipment maintenance.

The property has a history of tenant complaints about various maintenance issues, particularly during renovation periods, and there have been recurring concerns about building systems including heating, hot water, and ventilation. While many historical violations from 2012-2013 related to building maintenance and habitability issues have been resolved, recent years have seen a pattern of ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly with the elevator systems and fire safety compliance. The property management has demonstrated ongoing investment in unit improvements and building infrastructure, though maintenance of common systems remains a significant concern as of late 2024.
