2550-2554 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2550-2554 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by James L. Yates and constructed in 1900, has undergone numerous significant renovations and improvements over the past few years. Most notably, between October 2023 and early 2024, substantial work was completed including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units (Units 1, 2, and 4), electrical system upgrades (new sub-panels and breakers in Units 1, 2, and 4), plumbing improvements, and roof deck repairs. A building complaint was recorded in February 2024 regarding unpermitted work, though this appears to be part of the ongoing renovations.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues that required attention, such as a fire alarm system violation in 2023 (which was subsequently abated) and a complaint about peeling paint and a locked door in 2001. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roof repairs in 2007, bathroom renovations, and HVAC updates. Multiple sewer trap replacements and various unit improvements have been documented through building and plumbing permits. In 2023, there was a violation related to unpermitted deck and railing work on the lower roof, though this appears to have been addressed through proper permitting shortly thereafter.

A fire alarm system violation was issued in June 2023, but records indicate this was abated by September 2023. The property has generated several 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to waste management, parking issues, and general maintenance concerns, though these do not appear to be directly related to building safety or habitability. Planning records show an approved repair of the front deck, indicating ongoing maintenance attention to common areas. Overall, the building has undergone extensive recent renovations and improvements, with most work properly permitted and completed, though there have been occasional issues requiring correction. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes and regulations, with most violations being promptly addressed and abated.
