1922-1926 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1922-1926 Bush Street, owned by the Arvillie G Brown Lvg Tr, has been undergoing significant renovation work throughout 2024, with multiple permits issued for unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels, window retrofitting, and electrical work, with costs totaling over $100,000. However, there have been serious concerns regarding unauthorized work at the property, with three building complaints filed between June and July 2024 alleging unpermitted plumbing, electrical work, and structural problems by a contractor named "Carlos and Brothers." A lead paint issue was also reported in May 2023, with positive readings noted on the property's east side, though this complaint was later marked as not active. The building has a history of code compliance issues, with a notable cluster of violations in 2002 related to handrails, gas meter safety, and fire safety requirements, all of which were abated by September 2002.

In 2010, violations were recorded regarding damaged ceilings and the central alarm system, which were addressed between 2010 and 2011. A routine inspection in 2023 identified weather protection and lead abatement concerns that were eventually resolved. The property, built in 1900, has maintained its legal status as a six-unit apartment building, with a rebuild letter dated 2004 confirming its permitted use.

Recent municipal services calls primarily relate to street cleaning and parking enforcement, with no recorded fire incidents of concern. The building's current renovation activity has generated multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work, primarily focused on plumbing and electrical systems, suggesting ongoing concerns about project oversight and compliance with building codes. While historical violations have typically been resolved in a timely manner, the recent pattern of complaints in 2024 indicates potential challenges in maintaining building standards during ongoing renovations. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, including recent substantial unit renovations, but the age of the building and history of maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention to building systems and safety requirements is necessary.
