1500 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 19-unit, 7-story multi-family residential building at 1500 Bush Street, owned by Inverness Partners LP, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2024 a $150,000 re-roofing project was completed, and in late 2023, permits were issued for substantial facade repairs including waterproofing, fire escape securing, and concrete maintenance. The building has had recurring fire safety system upgrades, with the most recent work in 2022 involving the installation of a new fire alarm system with wireless components, following a 2019 upgrade that included new control panels and notification devices.

Multiple boiler replacement projects have been completed over the years, with the most recent re-roofing work suggesting ongoing maintenance attention. The building's history includes several concerning incidents that required attention, particularly regarding fire safety, boiler maintenance, and heating systems. Recent fire violations include a December 2023 citation regarding sleeping area requirements, and a November 2022 violation related to sprinkler service. There have been multiple complaints and violations regarding heating systems and hot water supply, including a 2015 complaint about lack of hot water throughout the building.

The building experienced significant issues in 2018 with sewage problems in the elevator and basement, and there were construction-related complaints in 2019. While historical violations from 2001-2004 included issues with ventilation, lighting, heating, and water damage, these were all marked as abated. The property has maintained active compliance with most recent building codes, though the presence of recent fire violations indicates some ongoing regulatory oversight. A tenant buyout was recorded in September 2023 involving two tenants, though no compensation amount was specified.
