2001 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 45-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 2001 Pierce Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1928, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, in 2023 the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade costing $108,900 to meet current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and new compatible devices. The building has seen substantial unit improvements, particularly in 2014-2017, including multiple unit remodels involving kitchen relocations, bathroom upgrades, and bedroom additions in units 25, 35, 37, 47, and 52, often accompanied by corresponding plumbing and electrical work.

A significant incident occurred in 2017 when multiple housing code violations were filed regarding water damage, mold, and lead paint concerns, though these were abated by March 2017. The building has experienced several elevator-related issues requiring attention, particularly in 2015 when complaints were filed regarding elevator operation and safety, including one incident where an elevator allegedly almost closed on people. Boiler permit compliance has been an ongoing concern, with multiple complaints filed in 2018 and 2022 regarding expired permits, though these were subsequently addressed.

Recent maintenance records from 2024 show routine repairs and improvements, including a water heater replacement and responses to various service requests. The property has undergone regular fire safety inspections, with most violations being promptly corrected, though there were one or two occasions when violations were noted regarding standpipe maintenance and fire system certification. Recent complaints and service requests have primarily involved exterior issues such as parking violations and street maintenance concerns, with the most recent entries from late 2023 showing typical urban maintenance challenges like graffiti and flooding issues on the street.
