1920 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1920 Sacramento Street, a 14-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1926 in Pacific Heights, is currently undergoing significant infrastructure upgrades, including the replacement of the main water line and steam boiler, with work continuing through December 2024. The property, managed by Mingson Pacific Ltd, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2023-2024, including reports of black mold in the laundry room, flooding issues, elevator malfunctions, and concerns about lead paint on the fire escape and exterior.

Multiple violations were recorded in late 2018 related to water damage, interior surface problems, and fire safety equipment, though these were abated by December 2018. Historical records show earlier issues with a broken window pane, heat outages in 2005 and 2010, and various maintenance activities including a kitchen and bath remodel in 1989 and code compliance work in 1987, though some permits from the 1980s are now expired.

Recent complaints from late 2024 indicate concerns about unpermitted work and dangerous sidewalk conditions during infrastructure upgrades, which were documented in multiple complaints to both Building and Plumbing Inspection Divisions. The building has experienced several fire safety-related incidents, including CO detector activations (both real and due to malfunction) and a cooking fire, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various infrastructure issues, as evidenced by the recent boiler replacement and water line work, but also highlights ongoing concerns about water damage, fire safety compliance, and general building maintenance.
