1677 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, 21-unit multi-family residential building at 1677 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1900 and owned by Kennedy Family 2004 Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant upgrades and renovations in recent years. Most notably, in December 2023 and continuing into 2024, the building received a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current safety regulations, with an associated cost of approximately $58,000. In 2022, the building underwent considerable interior remodeling work, including relocating kitchens and converting bedrooms in units 7, 14, and 21, along with a complete sewer line replacement from the building to the city sewer main.

The property has a history of addressing safety concerns, with multiple fire-related corrections made in 2024, including two fire complaints that were marked as "Condition Corrected" and one recent fire violation regarding sleeping area requirements from December 2023 that is still showing as open. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over its history, particularly noticeable during 2004-2005 and more recently in 2015-2016. Past violations included multiple fire safety concerns, such as egress obstructions, fire escape maintenance issues, and fire extinguisher problems, though these were all eventually abated. There were also complaints about unauthorized construction, electrical work, and plumbing modifications in 2004, along with issues regarding hot water availability in 2015.

A recent series of 311 calls from 2024 has documented various street cleaning and maintenance needs in the surrounding area, including several reports of debris and waste, as well as one fire hazard complaint from June 2024 that was resolved in November 2024. The building's recent history shows regular investment in safety equipment and systems, with the most recent fire alarm upgrade being the latest in a series of improvements aimed at maintaining compliance with current safety regulations. While there have been multiple fire safety-related issues documented over the years, the property management has generally addressed violations and complaints when they arise. The extensive renovation work completed in 2022 and ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the building's systems suggest active management of the property's infrastructure and safety requirements.
