2075 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 16-unit apartment building at 2075 California Street in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1927, has undergone significant recent upgrades and maintenance work. Most notably, the building received a comprehensive fire safety upgrade in 2022-2023, including the installation of a new voluntary fire alarm system with addressable detectors and low frequency sounders in each unit, along with new smoke detectors, pull stations, and heat detectors.

A new low-pressure steam boiler was also installed in 2022. The building has seen substantial unit renovations, particularly kitchen and bathroom remodels, with multiple units (102, 103, 201, 202, 203, 302, 304, and 402) receiving new cabinets, countertops, and associated electrical and plumbing work between 2016 and 2021, significantly modernizing the apartments' amenities. Historical records show that the building had several violations related to heating and fire safety in 2000-2001, including issues with heat provision and fire proofing, but these were all abated by 2009.

Since then, the building has maintained active compliance with housing codes, though there have been some recurring fire alarm system issues noted in 2013, 2019, 2020, and most recently in January 2024, with the most recent violation for alarm system maintenance being abated shortly after issuance. The building underwent roofing work in 2019, and electrical upgrades have been consistently performed alongside unit renovations, including new sub panels and rewiring through existing conduits. While the elevator system experienced one documented outage affecting disabled tenants in 2001, the building has generally maintained its essential systems well, with no recent complaints regarding elevator service.
