1385 Greenwich St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 14-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1385 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1922. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) in 2016, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Notable recent safety upgrades include a 2021 fire alarm system modernization that meets current San Francisco Fire Code requirements and the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) in 2020.

The building underwent substantial infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a sewer repair in 2024, sprinkler system upgrades, and a 400-amp service upgrade in 2021. The property has experienced several routine inspections and addressed multiple violations over the years, with the most significant issues occurring between 2011-2013, including problems with the boiler permit, fire safety equipment, and various building maintenance items. These violations were subsequently abated.

The building has a documented history of responding to fire-related incidents, though none have resulted in civilian injuries or major damage, primarily involving false alarms and detector activations. A moving truck incident in 2015 caused exterior damage, but this was resolved. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and garbage management, rather than building-specific issues. The property has maintained reasonably consistent compliance with safety and building codes, with most historical complaints being addressed and resolved through proper channels.
