2511-2513 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 3-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 2511-2513 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Jack G Lee and Christine Lum, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program as a Tier 3 building, achieving Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) status. In 2023, a substantial $33,500 reroofing project was completed for the flat roof.

Significant fire safety improvements were made in 2019-2020, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor, a new fire alarm system with updated components, and various fire safety device replacements to meet current building codes, totaling approximately $85,000 in improvements. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, including a notable mold complaint in 2019 regarding a ground floor unit, which cited inadequate bathroom ventilation and recurring mold on window sills. Three fire violations were recorded in 2019 and 2024 related to alarm system maintenance, extinguisher service, and owner contact posting requirements, though all have been abated.

The property has also undergone various routine inspections through the years, including a 2000 inspection that identified multiple issues including stair repairs, egress obstruction, combustible storage concerns, and smoke detection requirements, all of which were subsequently addressed. Recent 311 calls in 2024-2025 show recurring parking enforcement issues near the property, though these are external to the building's operations. A pending development project intends to convert an existing storage area into a new dwelling unit (Unit #12) on the first floor, which has received preliminary approval under Ordinance 162-16.
