2153 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2153 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights has undergone significant improvements since its 1916 construction. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting as a Tier 3 soft-story building, securing CFC issuance. Recent fire safety upgrades include a filed permit in August 2023 for low-frequency fire alarm modifications in sleeping areas, complying with current NFPA codes.

The building has seen substantial unit improvements, with comprehensive renovations completed in 2017-2018 to six units (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 11) including kitchen and bathroom updates, new plumbing systems, and electrical upgrades. Additional recent concerns include a February 2023 complaint about an unsecured side door and a October 2024 issue regarding open mailboxes and non-functional callbox systems, though these complaints are currently marked as not active. The building has experienced several fire system-related incidents, with the most recent violations in July 2024 regarding alarm systems and extinguishers - both of which were promptly corrected.

While there were multiple fire system complaints and violations between 2017 and 2021, these have generally been addressed through proper corrections or permits. The property has maintained regular compliance with various building codes, including a proper correction of unit count discrepancies in 2022, and completed necessary infrastructure work such as a new main water line installation in 2018 and water heater replacement in 2016. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to parking enforcement and street cleaning issues rather than building-specific concerns.
