1809 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 25-unit, 5-story apartment building at 1809 California Street, owned by 11251 LLC, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone numerous renovations and maintenance projects over the years. Recent significant improvements include a completed kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit #201 in 2020 ($42,000), major renovations in Units #302 ($35,000) and #502 ($35,000) in 2017, and water damage repairs in Units #301 (2012) and #503 (2011). The building has experienced recurring heating system challenges, particularly noted in complaints from 1995 through 2004, with a recent boiler permit renewal issue in July 2023 that was promptly resolved.

A fire-related violation regarding sleeping area requirements was issued in December 2023 and remains open. The property has maintained active upkeep of its infrastructure, with recent works including the installation of new water heaters in April 2024, multiple kitchen and bathroom renovations, and electrical system upgrades. Historical issues from the early 2000s include various plumbing, electrical, and fire safety violations that were generally resolved, though there was an incident of unauthorized construction work in 2011.

The building also had termite damage repairs documented in 1998. Recent 311 calls (2023-2025) primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking, debris, and tree maintenance, while fire incident records show mostly false alarms and routine activations with no injuries reported. The most recent tenant buyout occurred in July 2020 for $10,000, involving one tenant. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates and repairs, particularly focusing on individual unit improvements and system maintenance, though the open fire violation from late 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements should be noted as a current compliance issue.
