1807 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94109

1807 Broadway is a 3-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Mak Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple regulatory challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are active violations regarding unpermitted construction work from 2021-2023, including concerns about an illegal unit conversion (from 5 to 4 units), unpermitted glass railings, a non-fire rated roof deck, and an unauthorized elevated deck.

A horizontal addition was attempted at both ground and 2nd levels, and though the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program was completed, the building remains under scrutiny for various code compliance issues. The property has seen considerable maintenance and improvement work between 2019-2023, including a $150,000 soft-story retrofit, multiple unit remodels, and various structural repairs. However, many of these projects have encountered permit and compliance issues, leading to multiple Notices of Violation (NOV) and an active complaint regarding an incorrectly stated unit count on recent permits.

Recent disputes involving the property owner and neighboring units (1805 and 1809 Broadway) concern fence removal and unauthorized construction affecting property lines. The building has also faced some basic maintenance challenges, such as roof leaks, sidewalk issues, and heating system replacements over the years. While some complaints from 2010-2019 regarding mold, water damage, and window repairs were marked as abated, the more recent issues represent ongoing regulatory challenges for the property.
