2199 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 15-unit, three-story apartment building at 2199 Pacific Avenue, constructed in 1964, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with particular attention to building safety and resident amenities. Most recently, in July 2023, Unit 105 received comprehensive renovations including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling $60,000. The building completed mandatory safety improvements including a new fire alarm system with low-frequency sounders and horn strobes in December 2022, following previous significant structural upgrades in 2016 consisting of steel moment frame installations and shear wall strengthening.

The building has maintained compliance with soft-story retrofit requirements, achieving "Work Complete" status as a Tier 2 property. The property has experienced several violations and complaints related to safety systems, particularly regarding fire safety and boiler permits. Multiple fire safety violations were recorded in 2018-2019, including issues with fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and blocked exits, all of which have been abated.

The building's boiler service compliance was also addressed in 2019 through permits for serial numbers GAK-1496 and GAK-1555, with regular inspections following. Two renovation attempts to add an ADU in 2019 were ultimately cancelled, though planning records show this was intended to replace four parking spaces. The building has experienced typical urban challenges such as graffiti and parking issues, as documented in 311 calls, with all reported incidents being resolved through appropriate channels. While there have been various fire-related incidents recorded, including false alarms and carbon monoxide detector activations, none resulted in civilian injuries, and the building's safety systems have undergone regular upgrades and maintenance to meet current codes.
