2261 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 18-unit multi-family residential building at 2261 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Kitt Family Partnership, has experienced several significant events and maintenance work since its construction in 1961. Most notably, the building has undergone recent fire safety upgrades, with a fire alarm system replacement project valued at $56,700 currently issued as of November 2024, following previous fire safety violations in 2023-2024 related to alarms, exits, and extinguishers that have since been corrected or issued as violations. The building has seen regular maintenance and upgrades over the years, including window replacements (2012, 2009), plumbing work such as a water service line replacement (2021), and electrical improvements including elevator equipment maintenance (2014).

The property has had some troubling history regarding resident safety and building upkeep, particularly in relation to the fire safety system and lead paint concerns. Multiple fire safety violations were recorded in 2023-2024, including issues with the fire alarm system, sleeping area requirements, and blocked exits. In 2011, the building had citations related to lead paint hazards that were abated within one month.

The building underwent routine inspections in 1995-2011, with documented complaints about heating system noise (1995) and paint conditions (2011) among others. Recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 have primarily concerned parking issues and tree maintenance, including a current open case regarding tree roots damaging property (November 2023). While the building has received regular maintenance and upgrades, the recurring fire safety violations and recent tree root concerns suggest ongoing challenges with infrastructure and safety compliance.
