1970-1972 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-unit residential building at 1970-1972 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Asaye A Takagi, has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects since its construction in 1987. Most notably, in 2021, the building received substantial exterior improvements, including dry rot repairs and replacement of the north facade, along with comprehensive updates to the street-facing side featuring cedar wood siding installation, window replacements, and modifications to the glass wall and roof structure, with total expenditures exceeding $80,000.

The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of addressing wood deterioration, with dry rot repairs documented in both 1998 and 2021, and multiple instances of siding replacement and window upgrades between 2012-2021. Historical records indicate some fire safety concerns, including two complaints in 2005 and 2012 that were determined to have no merit, and a CO detector activation incident with no civilian injuries. Recent activity around the property (2023-2024) has primarily involved typical urban issues such as parking enforcement, sidewalk blockage, and street cleaning needs.

There have been multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways, and several instances of street cleaning requests, including cases involving medical waste and garbage debris. While these incidents reflect general neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific issues, they indicate ongoing urban maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity. The most recent building permit activity shows a commitment to maintaining the property's exterior and addressing structural issues as they arise, with no recorded building code violations or major safety concerns since the last renovation work was completed in 2021.
