2650 Webster St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 2650 Webster Street in Pacific Heights is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1974, currently owned by the Dena Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance activities in the past 15 years, including a complete reroofing in 2007 (cost: $7,000) and the replacement of a heating appliance with a backflow assembly in 2011. However, the building's recent history raises several concerns, particularly regarding fire safety.

In 2024 alone, there were multiple fire code violations recorded, with violations issued in November 2024 for sprinkler/standpipe systems and sleeping area requirements, along with other complaints about multiple fire code violations in February 2024. The building has experienced numerous fire department responses for unintentional smoke detector activations and alarm system activations, indicating potential system reliability issues. Additionally, there is a concerning pattern of garbage and debris management issues in the vicinity, with eight reports of overflowing city garbage cans between December 2024 and January 2025, though these are street-level issues rather than directly related to the building itself.

The property has been the subject of various fire safety inspections and violations over the years, including notable violations in 2020-2021 related to fire command center features and test/maintenance documentation. While most historical violations have been abated, the recurring nature of fire code violations and alarms suggests ongoing challenges with the building's safety systems. A Mark noted in Planning Records indicated illegal short-term rentals on the third and fourth floors, though this record shows as "Closed - Abated." The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of basic systems, including a street space permit issued in 2011, but the concentration of recent fire safety violations demands attention, especially given the building's three-story configuration and associated safety considerations.
