The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1582-1586 Bush Street, located in the Van Ness/Civic Center neighborhood, was constructed in 1906 and is classified as a Flat & Store building with 4 units or less, spread across three stories. The property has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues over the past several years, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2019 and 2024, including problems with sprinkler systems, documentation requirements, and maintenance of safeguards.

Most recently, in November 2024, a violation was issued regarding standpipe system issues, while in April 2024, violations were recorded for missing emergency lighting, required documentation, and various sprinkler-related concerns. The building underwent electrical system upgrades in July 2021, including the installation of a new sub-panel and supplemental heating equipment.

The ground floor has transitioned through various uses, most recently documented as a travel agency following a 2000 remodel, and has undergone various permit modifications over the years, with the most recent recorded permit in 2019. The property has experienced various municipal service calls in 2024, primarily related to street cleaning, parking issues, and infrastructure maintenance, including two instances of human waste incidents that were resolved through municipal intervention. While the building has maintained compliance with fire safety inspections following the issuance of violations, the pattern of recurring fire code issues suggests ongoing challenges with building safety systems.
