1740 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94123

1740 Broadway is a 6-story, 36-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Rki 1740 Irr Investors Llc. The building has undergone significant renovations over the past several years, with substantial work continuing into 2024. Most recently, Unit 606 is undergoing major renovations including bedroom relocation, bathroom additions, and kitchen remodels with associated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work, with permits issued in July 2024.

Between 2022 and 2024, multiple units (601, 602, 201, 505, 405, and several others) have received comprehensive updates including kitchen and bathroom renovations, window replacements, and electrical system upgrades. A notable building-wide improvement was the 2022 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current safety codes. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly in the 1990s and early 2000s, including heat and hot water issues, roof leaks, and fire safety violations.

Recent boiler permit violations were noted in March 2024, though these were abated by April 2024. The property has also experienced two fire-related complaints in 2023-2024, one of which resulted in a violation related to sleeping area requirements. While there have been numerous routine inspections and updates to major systems, the building's age and history of violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent major renovations and system upgrades indicate significant investment in improving living conditions, though occasional violations and complaints, such as the 2023 sleeping area requirement issue and 2024 boiler permit concerns, suggest some lapses in maintenance protocol.
