1901 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109
1901 Pacific Avenue is a three-story, multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, consisting of 8 units and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, including a 2023 installation of additional low-frequency sounders in bedrooms and a new fire alarm panel to monitor the sprinkler system, following a 2022 mandate to improve fire safety throughout the building. The property experienced structural issues in 2022-2023, with concerns about a damaged interior property line wall potentially affecting the lower floors, though this was resolved by July 2023.
Multiple units have received renovations, including Units 5 and 7 in 2021, and Unit 9 was converted into an ADU in 2022 with updated plumbing and electrical systems. The building has a history of compliance issues, most notably failing to complete mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements, which resulted in various Notices of Violation between 2017 and 2019 regarding earthquake safety. Several complaints and violations were recorded between 2018 and 2019 concerning unpermitted construction work, particularly related to chimney removal and unauthorized unit modifications, though these issues appeared to be addressed by 2019.
Recent boiler permit renewal violations were recorded in 2020 and 2023 but were resolved within months. The property experienced multiple elevator-related incidents between 2019 and 2022, including several instances of stalled elevators requiring rescue operations, though no injuries were reported in any fire incidents or complaints.
