1945 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94115

1945 Pierce Street is a three-story multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, containing 3 units and owned by Johnnie Landers. The property, constructed in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past three decades. Most concerning were multiple complaints and violations in late 2013-early 2014, including reports of asbestos contamination, a broken sewer system flooding the basement, a locked fire exit, and various plumbing problems affecting tenant water access.

These issues prompted building inspections that revealed numerous code violations. In 2014, there was also a fire safety complaint regarding combustible materials, though this was corrected that same day. The building's infrastructure has seen some recent attention, with water line replacement in 2017, sewer replacement in 2012, and gutter work in 2006 costing over $11,000. The property has a documented history of plumbing and drainage issues, dating back to at least 1994 when complaints were filed regarding rainwater management and roof water drainage problems.

In 2006, the building faced violations related to fire safety equipment maintenance, including concerns about fire extinguisher placement and smoke detector maintenance. More recent maintenance records show several street space permits granted in 2016, 2012, and 2007, though these are related to external areas. The building's recent history (2023-2024) has generated several 311 calls primarily regarding external issues such as graffiti, illegal postings, and parking violations, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges, though these are not directly related to the building's internal conditions. The property's permit history shows some infrastructure investment, but the presence of multiple historical complaint patterns suggests a long-standing need for consistent building maintenance and oversight.
