2016 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 2016 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Khostovan Ali & Fatemah, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 1900. Between 2010 and 2012, the building underwent major improvements including extensive electrical upgrades for all units (installation of new sub-panels, 70 amp services, and modern fixtures), plumbing renovations (including gas line separations and new fixtures), and multiple bathroom and kitchen remodels across several units.

More recently, the building experienced fire safety system issues, with violations noted in 2024 for alarm systems and extinguishers, though these were abated by September 2024. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes through regular inspections and prompt response to violations, though there have been recurring fire safety concerns, particularly regarding alarm systems and extinguishers, with multiple citations between 2010 and 2024.

Past complaints indicate some environmental challenges, particularly a flooding issue in a basement apartment reported in 2007 and ongoing concerns about tree/shrub maintenance affecting sidewalk access noted in 2023 and 2024. The most recent electrical work, initiated in December 2020, suggests ongoing investment in infrastructure maintenance, and the building has undergone regular routine safety inspections, with the last documented routine inspection occurring in 2013. The property's extensive renovation history, especially in 2010-2012, demonstrates significant investment in modernization, safety systems, and unit improvements, though the persistence of fire safety violations indicates an area of recurring concern requiring monitoring.
