2425 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94115

2425 Buchanan Street is a 12-unit, 3-story apartment building constructed in 1931, currently owned by SF Multifamily 1 LLC. The property has undergone significant improvements over recent years, most notably the conversion of the garage into four new dwelling units in 2018-2019, following which comprehensive updates were made to the building's fire safety systems, including multiple sprinkler system upgrades in 2022-2023 costing over $55,000. Between 2020-2021, several individual units received substantial renovations, including Units 102, 103, and 104, which were modernized with new kitchens, bathrooms, and appliances.

The building has a history of fire safety concerns, with three fire alarm system violations documented between 2009 to 2023, though all were corrected promptly. Additionally, there were several routine fire safety issues noted in 2016 regarding fire escapes and combustible storage, all of which were abated by May 2016. Recent maintenance work has included the installation of new boilers (2022), updates to the building's electrical systems, and various plumbing improvements. Significant building improvements also involved a soft-story retrofit completed in 2020, demonstrating attention to structural safety.

While the building has experienced some resident complaints regarding renovation dust and lead paint concerns in 2018, all issues were promptly addressed. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to safety systems, with the most recent fire alarm upgrade completed in August 2023 and ongoing work to accommodate new utility meters. Historical records indicate some boiler permit compliance issues in 2018 and 2020, but these were resolved. The building's recent upgrades and improvements, particularly regarding fire safety systems and unit modernizations, suggest active management and maintenance of the property, though potential renters should note the building's age and past renovation-related issues.
