2470 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 15-unit, three-story apartment building at 2470 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by 2470 Washington LLC, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable compliance issues over its history. Most recently, there are three active fire safety violations from 2023-2025, including issues with sleeping area requirements (January 2025), alarm systems (October 2023), and fire extinguishers (September 2023), though two of these violations have been abated.

The building successfully completed a major soft story seismic upgrade in 2019 at a cost of $80,000, demonstrating commitment to structural safety. Historical improvements include foundation work (2000), decay repairs (2003), and reroofing (2002), while also addressing several code compliance matters in 1986. The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, with multiple alarm activations recorded between 2023-2024, though none resulted in injuries or confirmed fires.

Two significant building violations were recorded in 2000 and 2010 regarding egress obstruction and boiler permit issues, respectively, both of which were resolved. The building's exterior and surrounding area have faced typical urban challenges as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in 2023-2025, primarily related to parking violations and abandoned vehicles, though these do not directly impact building safety or habitability. The property's lighting and maintenance needs have been periodically addressed through various street space permits over the years, with the most recent being issued in 2017.
