2584-2586 California St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 2584-2586 California Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Positive View Lvg Tr. The building underwent significant renovations between 2009-2010, including comprehensive plumbing updates with new systems for kitchens and bathrooms, electrical system upgrades with new fixtures and circuits, and various infrastructure improvements including radiant heating installation and garage remodel. A notable incident occurred in March 2010 when multiple building violations were filed regarding unsafe excavation work at the northeast corner of the property, involving deep trenching without proper shoring, though these violations were abated by July 2010.

More recent building activity includes several street space permits between 2010-2019, a substantial exterior renovation in 2016 involving siding repair and painting (costing $25,000), and more recent maintenance work in late 2019. The building's recent history shows normal maintenance activity, with two minor complaints in 2019 related to noise and flooding, both of which were resolved. The property has undergone significant exterior improvements as evidenced by planning records showing a project to remove aluminum siding and replace it with redwood, along with roof replacement, though this appears to be in an "Open" status as of the latest update.

The building's systems have been thoroughly modernized, as demonstrated by the comprehensive list of permits showing replacement of major mechanical systems including heating, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure. While the 2010 violations raised serious safety concerns at the time, these were addressed relatively quickly, and there have been no similar building violations recorded in recent years, suggesting improved compliance with safety requirements. The property’s maintenance history indicates regular upkeep and upgrading of systems and features, typical of well-managed residential buildings in the Pacific Heights neighborhood.
