2955 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 2955 Van Ness Avenue in the Marina neighborhood is a three-story structure built in 1925, currently owned by 2955 Van Ness G1 LP. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with particular attention to safety systems and unit upgrades. Most notably, in 2023, the building completed a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade that included the installation of additional wireless life safety devices and the relocation of various fire safety equipment.

Additional improvements have included a 400-amp service upgrade (2021), and substantial unit renovations across multiple apartments between 2020-2021, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, plumbing upgrades, and the installation of washer/dryer facilities in several units. The building has also completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues in the past, including multiple fire alarm system violations in 2015 and 2017 (both ultimately corrected), and a complaint regarding exit maintenance in 2017 which was found to have no merit.

There have been four smoke detector activations recorded, all classified as either unintentional or due to malfunction, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance history shows attention to plumbing infrastructure, with the sewer main replaced in 2016 and a water heater replacement in 2023. Building management has responded to various exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal between 2021-2025. While there was one significant leak complaint in 2016, this was addressed within 24 hours according to housing inspection records.
