1800 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94123

1800 Broadway is a six-story, 35-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Cypress Tree LP. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particular concerns about the elevator system and various heating infrastructure. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with the elevator system, including multiple incidents of stuck passengers that were documented in 2009 and 2020, and a documented complaint about inoperability in July 2020.

The building's heating and hot water systems have also required significant attention, with multiple boiler and water heater replacements in 2020, including the installation of a new Laars MT2V-300 boiler and storage tanks. During this period, there were also violations related to unpermitted boiler operation that were ultimately abated in November 2020. The property has faced ongoing fire safety concerns, with recent violations related to an alarm system (March 2024) and sleeping area requirements (November 2023) that was still open as of the latest records.

Historical records show multiple fire department responses related to elevator rescues, system malfunctions, and other issues, though fortunately none involved civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history includes numerous street space permits in 2013, a reroofing project in 2006, and recent electrical service replacement work initiated in late 2024. Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris in the vicinity of the property, with multiple reports of abandoned furniture and other items on the street. Regular safety inspections and routine maintenance work have been conducted over the years, though some areas of concern remain, including the need for prompt resolution of open violations to ensure resident safety and compliance with city regulations.
