2474 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2474 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Churchill Partners LLC, has a documented history dating back to 1925. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2018 (Tier 4) costing $92,340 to comply with seismic safety requirements. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, particularly with alarm systems, showing six documented violations or complaints between 2012 and 2025, with the most recent violation being an open case from January 2025 regarding sleeping area requirements.

Recent improvements include a pending fire alarm system upgrade (filed September 2023) to meet 2022 San Francisco Fire Code requirements, and completed plumbing and electrical work in 2020 for installing a washer/dryer in the boiler room. The building also underwent sewer and house trap replacement work in May 2024. Historical records show some structural maintenance work, including a retaining wall replacement in 2005 (with an expired permit).

There have been minimal tenant complaints, with only two building violations on record: one in 2007 regarding unpermitted window and remodeling work (resolved within weeks) and one routine housing inspection in 1999-2013. The property has experienced some exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by three documented 311 calls between 2019 and 2022 regarding street cleaning, though these incidents were promptly addressed and resolved. The building's overall record shows consistent investment in safety improvements, though the recurring nature of fire safety violations suggests an ongoing need for attention to this critical aspect of building maintenance.
