2277 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94115

2277 Washington Street is a three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1904 in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, currently owned by William B Boardman Survivor. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades in recent years, with particular attention to fire safety systems. Most recently, in December 2022, the building underwent a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade including the replacement of smoke detectors, pull stations, and the installation of low-frequency sounders, at a cost of $10,000.

This followed a 2020 modification to meet San Francisco Fire Code requirements for low-frequency horns in sleeping areas. Additional recent improvements include the installation of a new backflow prevention assembly for the fire water service in January 2023, replacement of the water heater in May 2019, and a complete reroofing project in June 2003 costing $17,328. The building has experienced some maintenance and safety-related issues in the past, with several building complaints filed in 2013 regarding unauthorized work and safety hazards. These complaints, which included concerns about a remodeling project in unit #5 and stairway safety issues, were subsequently addressed through building permits.

More recent building maintenance issues included a 2015 complaint about unsealed windows and flaking paint, though this is now listed as "Not Active". The property has been subject to routine safety inspections, with the most recent recorded inspection in 2013. While there was one recorded fire incident related to smoke detector malfunction, there were no civilian injuries reported. The building's recent history suggests a proactive approach to safety and maintenance, with significant investments in fire safety systems and infrastructure upgrades.
