1535 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 20-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1535 Green Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Rajnikant T & Helen A Desai, has been actively maintained since its construction in 1926, with significant attention to safety and infrastructure improvements. The property has completed mandatory seismic soft-story retrofitting (Tier 2) in 2014, including seismic strengthening of the garage/target story, and recent work in 2023 involved retaining wall replacement costing $70,000.

Ongoing safety enhancements include a 2023 fire alarm system upgrade to meet current codes, though there remains an open violation related to sleeping area requirements as of November 2023. The building has undergone various maintenance projects, including a recent courtyard fence replacement in 2024, roofing work in 2010, and the installation of a 119-gallon storage tank in 2010. The property has experienced several routine housing inspections over the years, with notable complaints in 2007 regarding smoke enclosure doors and self-closing devices at exterior doors, though these violations were abated by March 2007.

More recent concerns include multiple reports of excessive noise (2021-2022) and several instances of waste clean-up required on public property bordering the building (2021-2023). The building's recent history shows active management response to maintenance and safety requirements, with most significant violations being addressed promptly. There is one current open fire violation related to sleeping area requirements from November 2023, and while the recent fire alarm system update partially addressed compliance issues, it is noted that the system does not meet current 2022 CBC and CFC requirements.
