1889 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94109

1889 Broadway is a 22-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, owned by the Toremi 1994 Revocable Trust and constructed in 1957. The building has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent being a major fire alarm system upgrade in April 2024 costing $70,000, which includes the installation of new monitoring equipment and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. Historical improvements include the replacement of 121 aluminum windows in 2015, reroofing work in 1998, and domestic boiler replacement in 2013.

The property has experienced periodic heating system challenges, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat between 2009 and 2016, including documented violations in 2010 and 2013 regarding failure to maintain required temperatures. Fire safety has been an ongoing focus, with several violations and complaints related to alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and fire escape maintenance between 2005 and 2023. Most recently, in November 2023, a sleeping area requirement violation was issued and is currently open.

The building has also undergone routine inspections, including several related to fire safety compliance. A carbon monoxide incident and unintentional alarm activations have occurred, though with no reported civilian injuries. The property management has generally addressed violations and complaints in a timely manner, with many issues being marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Not Active." Recent maintenance activity includes addressing various building systems and safety features to comply with current codes, though some historical violations regarding egress obstruction and fire escape ladders from 2001 remain on record, having been marked as "Not Active." The surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls, primarily related to parking enforcement and street cleaning matters, but these are external to the building's operations.
