1850 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The six-story, 36-unit apartment building at 1850 Sacramento St in Pacific Heights, built in 1927, has undergone significant recent improvements to its infrastructure and residential units. In 2024, the building completed a substantial fire alarm system upgrade costing $49,000 to install addressable components throughout the property, and in August 2023, the water heater and storage tank were replaced.

Multiple units have received modernizations over the past several years, including Units 505 and 305 being converted to two-bedroom configurations in 2019-2020, and several units receiving electrical rewiring, kitchen, and bathroom renovations between 2015 and 2021, with associated plumbing upgrades. The building has experienced some notable maintenance and safety concerns in recent years. In 2023, there was a period of non-compliance regarding the boiler permit, which was ultimately resolved, and there were several fire-related violations including issues with sleeping area requirements, blocked exits, and sprinkler systems in mid-2023 that were subsequently corrected.

A moisture problem causing mold was reported in April 2024, and there have been periodic concerns about construction noise affecting residents' work environments. Historically, the building has faced various maintenance challenges, including a 2009 incident involving electrical system tampering, a 2008 asbestos concern during bathroom repairs, and multiple fire safety inspections requiring attention to issues like sprinkler systems and alarm equipment. The most recent building improvement includes a comprehensive fire safety upgrade in 2024, demonstrating ongoing attention to building safety systems.
