1545 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94123

1545 Green Street is a three-story, 20-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood. Built in 1926 and currently owned by Rajnikant T & Helen A Desai, the property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. The building completed mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit work in 2014 (classified as Tier 2), which included seismic strengthening of the first-floor garage.

Recent major structural work includes the replacement of 80 feet of retaining wall in 2023 (cost: $210,000) and replacement of the courtyard fence in 2024 (cost: $7,500). The building's fire safety systems have received particular attention, with a fire alarm system modification in 2023 to comply with updated codes and the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, though there remains an open violation related to sleeping area requirements from November 2023. The building has experienced periodic maintenance and compliance issues, most recently documented in a 2021 complaint that noted plumbing and window problems in a second-floor unit, along with various building violations that were later abated. These included issues with window sashes, sink conditions, and toilet caulking.

The property has maintained its mechanical systems, with records showing replacement of the steam boiler in 2010 and installation of a new backflow device in 2015. Regular inspections have been conducted, and while some violations have been noted over the years, most have been promptly addressed. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking violations and sidewalk cleaning. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to both structural integrity and safety systems, with many recent improvements focusing on code compliance and resident safety.
