2120 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115
The 40-unit, four-story apartment building at 2120 Pacific Avenue in Pacific Heights, owned by the Robert & Lila Walz Revocable Trust, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety system challenges since its construction in 1973. Recent work includes substantial fire safety system upgrades in 2023-2024, with a $88,964 voluntary replacement of fire alarm components and the installation of new smoke detectors, horn/strobe systems, and intelligent base devices.
However, several concerning issues emerged in late 2023, including expired elevator permits and hazardous electrical conditions in the garage. The elevator system, in particular, has a troubling history, with multiple complaints from 2000-2018 documenting safety concerns, instability, and even incidents of passengers being trapped, though recent permits suggest some improvements have been made.
The building has also faced recurring fire safety violations, with multiple citations between 2018 and 2024 for issues such as sprinkler system maintenance, emergency lighting, and sleeping area requirements, with the most recent violations issued in December 2024 regarding the highrise sprinkler system compliance schedule. Additional historical context shows past problems with pests (2018), various building maintenance issues, and fire system activations, though most historical violations from 2000-2004 appear to have been resolved. Recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including a pattern of parking violations and graffiti issues on and near the property, with multiple 311 calls related to these problems throughout 2023-2024.
