1616 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

Located at 1616 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building was constructed in 1910 and is owned by Hms Pacific LLC. The property has undergone several significant renovations and encountered multiple code compliance issues, particularly in 2015 when multiple unpermitted interior renovations were identified, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, water heater installations, and laundry facilities. These violations resulted in abatement proceedings, which were ultimately resolved by June 2016 through proper permitting and compliance work totaling over $35,000.

More recent building improvements include the removal and infilling of a problematic entryway between 1616 and 1618 Pacific Avenue in 2019, and a completed electrical service upgrade from 200-amp service in 2016. The property has experienced various maintenance and environmental issues in recent years, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2024, including reports of debris, waste, and graffiti near the building. A notable planning issue from 2016 involves the unauthorized combination of two storefronts into one business exceeding 4,000 square feet, which was subsequently addressed through proper channels.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including a roof replacement in 2004 and various unit improvements throughout its history. While there was a fire complaint in 2011, it was promptly resolved on the same day. The property has undergone several legitimate improvements over the years, including seismic upgrades, plumbing and electrical system updates, and various unit-specific renovations, with most recent work focusing on compliance with current building codes.
