1545 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 1545 Greenwich Street, owned by Darin Richards-brown Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1925, with particular attention to safety and modernization. Most recently, in July 2024, the building underwent utility upgrades to accommodate laundry facilities, including the installation of washers, dryers, electrical outlets, and plumbing systems, representing a $12,000 improvement. In 2022, structural work was completed to brace the existing brick chimney at the rear of the building, and in 2016, the building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program, achieving Tier 3 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

Unit #4 received significant renovations in 2010, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and the building has maintained its electrical and plumbing systems with periodic updates, most notably a comprehensive electrical rewiring project in 2003. The building's safety record shows prompt attention to fire alarm system issues in 2015 and 2016, both of which were resolved within a month. A single fire-related violation regarding egress obstruction was reported and resolved in September 2008.

The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 1999, with all issues addressed. Recent activity around the building has primarily consisted of parking enforcement matters, with numerous citations issued in 2024 for vehicles blocking driveways, though these are external to the building's direct operations. The most recent street maintenance issues involved garbage and debris concerns in late 2024, which were addressed promptly by city services. Overall, the building's record shows regular maintenance, safety improvements, and compliance with San Francisco's seismic retrofit requirements, with particular focus on modernizing individual units while maintaining building-wide safety systems.
