2380 California St, San Francisco, CA 94115

2380 California Street is a 6-story, 24-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by 2380 California St LLC. The building has undergone several significant recent upgrades, most notably a $72,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 to comply with 2022 San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of automatic/manual systems with pull stations, a monitored fire panel, and new horn strobes. Additional fire safety improvements were implemented in 2024, including the addition of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, though there remains an open violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements.

The building has experienced recurring fire alarm system issues, with multiple violations and corrections between 2019-2024, and three recent fire violations in 2024. The property has a history of infrastructure challenges requiring attention, including a 2013 violation for unauthorized cell site installation that resulted in the removal of antennas and equipment by July 2015. Multiple units underwent kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2007, including units #101, #102, #103, #201, #602, and #604, with corresponding plumbing and electrical upgrades.

Recent tenant complaints have raised concerns about conditions in the building, including a 2024 issue regarding unregulated paint removal and lead paint concerns, and a 2015 complaint about mice infestation and mold. Historical violations include an incident in 2001-2002 involving fire escape and alarm system repairs, and a 2008 complaint about inadequate heat. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to system upgrades, though some persistent issues remain unresolved or have recurred, particularly regarding fire safety systems and general maintenance concerns. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues, including garbage management and street cleaning concerns.
