222 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94102

222 Leavenworth Street is a 36-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1911 in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, currently owned by Paul Boschetti G. The building has undergone various fire safety improvements in recent years, with an active permit (202501037650) issued in January 2025 for upgrading the fire alarm system at a cost of $69,400, along with an associated electrical permit (E202411098132) issued in November 2024 for fire alarm system modifications including new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. A significant cluster of fire safety violations and complaints emerged between 2017-2018, including issues with sprinkler systems, combustible materials, blocked exits, and alarm systems, though most were resolved promptly with corrections.

The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with multiple complaints regarding sewage problems, including incidents in 2005 and 2007, and a significant loss of hot water in 2006. A major cluster of violations was recorded in 2006, including fire safety concerns, egress obstructions, and maintenance issues, which were all abated by December 2006. The property has demonstrated ongoing maintenance and safety improvements, with the recent fire alarm system upgrades indicating attention to modern safety standards.

Multiple routine inspections and violation corrections suggest active management response to maintenance issues, though historical records indicate periods of significant maintenance challenges, particularly around 2006-2007. Recent 311 calls from November-December 2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as graffiti removal and sidewalk cleaning, with one noise complaint (opened November 2024) still pending resolution. The building's management has addressed numerous safety concerns over the years, including multiple fire code violations and system malfunctions, though one open violation from May 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements remains on record. The property has maintained active compliance with most building codes, as evidenced by the resolution of numerous historical violations and the implementation of required safety systems, though the presence of recent and historical plumbing and fire safety issues suggests these remain areas requiring ongoing attention.
