2664 California St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The six-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2664 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Giampaolo Boschetti, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades over the past decade. Most recently, in November 2024, the building has been actively upgrading its fire alarm system to meet current safety standards, including the installation of 75dB sounders in sleeping areas and low-frequency sounders throughout the building. Previous safety improvements include the replacement of handrails and repair of front stairs in 2018, and porch railing repairs completed in 2017 to bring them up to code compliance.

The building has faced some plumbing and maintenance challenges, including a 2008 incident involving water damage affecting multiple units (apartments 2 and 4), and sewer-related issues that have required attention between 2011-2013, though these appear to have been resolved. Historical records from the 1990s show the construction of a two-car garage in front of the house, along with various maintenance work including reroofing. The building's history includes a cluster of fire safety and security issues identified during a routine inspection in 2002, including missing fire escape drop ladders, uncharged fire extinguishers, and security concerns regarding exterior doors.

These violations were subsequently addressed and abated by July 2003. The property has maintained an active response to maintenance needs, as evidenced by various permits and cleanup efforts recorded through 311 calls, particularly regarding exterior maintenance such as graffiti removal and sewer vent cover repairs. Recent years show a continued commitment to building safety and maintenance, with the most recent fire alarm system upgrades representing a proactive approach to contemporary building code compliance and resident safety.
