2101 California St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 14-unit apartment building at 2101 California Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a 4-story structure built in 1914. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly in 2020-2021, including multiple unit remodels (Units 1, 2, 4, 11, 12, 14, and A) featuring new kitchens, bathrooms, electrical systems, and window replacements. Major building-wide improvements include a roof replacement completed in 2021, a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, and the installation of 21 wood and vinyl windows to restore the building's original aesthetic.

The building has achieved Tier 2 Soft Story status with work completed and a CFC issued. Historical records show the building faced several maintenance challenges in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including heating system issues, a leaking ceiling problem in 1997, and fire safety concerns in 2000. However, all these violations were resolved by 2001.

More recent building maintenance has been proactive, with regular updates to critical systems and comprehensive unit renovations. The most recent building complaints have been primarily related to exterior issues, with several 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris, though these are typically street-related matters rather than interior building concerns. The property has maintained compliance with all major safety requirements, as evidenced by the recent fire system upgrades and the completion of required seismic retrofitting under the Soft Story program.
