2001 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 16-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 2001 Broadway in Pacific Heights, built in 1969 and currently owned by 2001 Broadway LLC, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in May 2023 costing $67,400. This upgrade incorporated modern safety features including wireless communication, low-frequency sounders, smoke detectors, pull stations, and horn/strobe devices throughout the partially sprinklered building, in compliance with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements, and has maintained its equipment with periodic upgrades, including the installation of a new domestic boiler in June 2019.

The building's record shows a history of addressing various maintenance and safety issues, including roof repairs in 2015, garage dry rot repairs in 2016, and earlier structural concerns in 2008. While there were several building violations related to fire safety systems and equipment between 2002 and 2010, all were properly abated, and more recent fire system inspections show prompt correction of issues. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm activations, though most were false alarms with no injuries reported. Recent inspections and complaints indicate ongoing attention to building maintenance and safety requirements, though there was a 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements that has since been marked as abated.

The building's recent history includes multiple tenant buyouts between 2015 and 2024, with amounts ranging from $7,000 to $35,000. While there have been several 311 calls regarding street-level issues such as parking violations and street cleaning, these typically relate to external building matters rather than internal residential concerns. The property has received routine housing inspections in 2002, 2010, and 2015, all of which resulted in identified issues that were subsequently addressed. The most recent fire complaint from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements has been resolved, indicating continued responsiveness to safety concerns.
