2345 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2345 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Mark Kohi & Shahin Khan, is a 1926 apartment structure that has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years. Most recently, as of January 2025, there is an open violation regarding sleeping area requirements, which follows a pattern of fire safety concerns, including multiple violations in December 2019 for inadequate building owner contact posting and emergency lighting. The building has had recurring water-related issues, with documented complaints of leaks and mold in 2012 (between apartments 305 and 205) and 2009 (in closets and living areas), suggesting persistent plumbing challenges.

A notable cluster of fire safety violations occurred in 2003, including issues with fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher requirements, and fire proofing materials, all of which were abated by July 2003. The building's history shows attention to systems maintenance, with a completed boiler installation permit in 2014 and a reroofing project from 1994, though some earlier permits are now expired. Recent inspection activity has been influenced by external factors, such as the 2020 building inspection response limitations due to COVID-19, while the building has experienced typical urban challenges including parking violations and sidewalk maintenance issues.

The property has had two recent fire-related incidents involving alarm system malfunctions (735) and an unintentional smoke detector activation (743), though neither involved actual fires or injuries. The building's management appears to have addressed most historical violations, with only the recent sleeping area requirements violation remaining open as of 2025. The presence of multiple parking enforcement calls and sidewalk maintenance issues suggests ongoing logistical challenges typical of the neighborhood, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability.
