2240 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 6-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 2240 Buchanan Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Carico Michael F, has undergone significant maintenance and improvements since its construction in 1961. The building has received regular window and stucco maintenance, with multiple replacement projects completed between 2012 and 2019, totaling over $100,000 in improvements.

These include the replacement of various windows, stucco repairs, and insulation upgrades, with the most recent work occurring in 2019 involving kitchen and bedroom window replacements with energy-efficient units. The building has experienced several structural and safety-related issues over the years, including termite damage repairs in 2012, multiple fire escape maintenance concerns (most recently in 2016), and various violations related to smoke enclosure maintenance and egress obstructions between 2001 and 2016. Electrical system improvements were also undertaken in 2013, including the relocation of an electrical panel for unit 1.

While there have been three fire incidents recorded, none resulted in civilian injuries, and they were primarily related to cooking, system malfunctions, or smoke detector activations. Recent external issues near the property have included several 311 calls in 2021-2023 regarding encampments, waste removal, and street cleaning needs, though these concerns were primarily related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself. A routine housing inspection in 2016 raised several safety requirements, including fire escape verification and alarm system checks, but these violations were subsequently marked as abated.
