1875 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The four-story, seven-unit apartment building at 1875 California Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by H/s Partners II LP, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone various significant improvements over the past decade. The property has seen substantial renovation work between 2014-2016, including bathroom additions, roof modifications, and electrical system upgrades. Notable improvements include the modification of the central stair to extend to the roof and 4th-floor penthouse in 2014, a significant $15,000 project, and the complete rewiring of Unit 6 in late 2014. More recent maintenance includes the decommissioning of the steam boiler in October 2024, with no reported safety violations since 2013.

The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and upkeep, with multiple unit renovations completed between 2014-2015, including bathroom remodels and kitchen updates in several units. In terms of infrastructure, the building received a service upgrade to 400 amps in 2015, improving its electrical capacity. The property has experienced some exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by recent 311 calls for graffiti removal, sewer vent cover replacement, and a sewage backup incident in early 2024. However, these issues appear to have been promptly addressed.

The building underwent a tenant buyout program in 2016, with two tenants receiving $30,000 each, suggesting an active management approach to maintaining the property's occupancy and unit condition. The building has undergone regular inspections and assessments, with the last routine safety inspection conducted in 2013 resulting in several violations related to smoke enclosure doors and building identification, all of which were abated by May 2013. Fire safety measures appear to have been maintained, with only one recorded fire-related incident (a false alarm) since 2013, and no civilian injuries reported from any fire-related events. The property's maintenance record shows consistent attention to both unit-specific improvements and building-wide systems, with permits and violations being addressed in a timely manner.
