1885 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1885 Pacific Avenue is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, built in 1977 and currently owned by the Robert J Maron Living Trust. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant being active complaints from January 2025 regarding unauthorized unit modifications and improper permitting for remodels in vacant units, which have allegedly been occurring for the past 10 years.

The building's fire safety systems have been a persistent area of concern, with multiple violations recorded between 2023-2024 including issues with alarm systems, extinguishers, and sprinkler/standpipe systems - though some of these violations were marked as corrected. Additionally, there have been two documented instances of excessive mold in bathrooms (2008 and 2010) and a series of routine fire safety violations in 2002 related to fire escapes and directional signage, all of which were promptly abated. The building's maintenance history shows attention to roofing with two documented reroofing projects: one completed in 1993 and another in 2013 costing $24,500.

A 2024 complaint regarding a sleeping area requirement violation remains open, while previous fire safety violations from 2019 and other maintenance issues have been abated. Recent 311 calls (2023-2024) primarily relate to parking violations and street cleaning issues near the property, rather than building-specific problems. The building's location has generated multiple parking enforcement requests in 2024, suggesting ongoing issues with parking management in the vicinity.
