2285-2287 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, six-unit building at 2285-2287 Broadway in Pacific Heights, built in 1916, has undergone significant renovations and improvements in recent years, particularly between 2017-2020. The property, currently owned by 2285 LLC, completed a major $300,000 renovation in 2017-2018 to add three new accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to the ground floor, consisting of two studios and one one-bedroom unit, along with a mandatory soft-story retrofit that was subsequently certified complete.

In 2020, substantial unit renovations were performed, including complete renovations of multiple apartments, fire sprinkler system installations, and comprehensive electrical upgrades, including a new fire alarm system to comply with city ordinances. Recent concerns have arisen regarding the building's heating system, with multiple active complaints from 2022-2024 about radiator issues in Unit 1, including excessive noise, water leakage, and temperature control problems. The building has had several notable safety and compliance issues in the past, including a violation for boiler permit operation in 2023 that remains active as of October 2023, though many historical violations from 2015-2018 have been resolved.

The property has experienced occasional fire alarm system activations, primarily due to malfunctions or unintended transmissions, but no actual fires or civilian injuries have been recorded. Recent maintenance work includes a copper repipe of all six units (2022), new boiler installation (2021), and backflow prevention replacement (2023). The building has also generated multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, primarily related to street cleaning and parking enforcement issues, though these are external to the building's condition.
