2065 California St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The Wilson Family Trust owns the 16-unit, 4-story apartment building at 2065 California Street, built in 1927 in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The building is currently under renovation to upgrade its fire safety systems, with work underway as of May 2024 to replace the fire alarm system and install new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current code requirements, following a December 2023 violation for sleeping area requirements.

The property has a history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations and complaints recorded between 2009 and 2024, including blocked exits (2009), extinguisher issues (2010), and most recently a violation in December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The building underwent significant window improvements in 1999-2000, replacing 36 windows with vinyl units on the front and side of the building, and received new domestic hot water systems in 1983.

A routine safety inspection in 2013 revealed several fire safety issues that were promptly addressed by May 2013, including problems with smoke enclosure doors, egress obstructions, handrails, directional signs, a gas utility shutoff tool, and a fire escape ladder. The property has maintained an active record of parking enforcement issues on California Street, with multiple citations issued between 2019 and 2024 for vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, and various cleaning and debris removal requests have been logged through 311 calls in recent years, though these are typical for urban environments.
