1661 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The Breman Arms LLC-owned multi-family residential building at 1661 Bush Street is a 12-unit, 3-story apartment building constructed in 1915 in Lower Pacific Heights. The property has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades in recent years, most notably a completed fire alarm system upgrade in early 2024 costing $31,850 and a recent fire extinguisher violation that was issued and subsequently abated in June 2024. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program (Tier 3) and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements.

The building has a documented history of heating system challenges, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat between 2004-2006, and more recently a noise-related complaint in 2022 about the front door remote unlock system. There were several violations related to boiler permits in the early 2000s, though the most recent boiler replacement occurred in 2014. The property has undergone various structural and maintenance improvements over the years, including mandatory soft-story upgrades, stair repairs, and reroofing in 2012.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and debris issues outside the building, with some calls still marked as open. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to safety compliance, though there have been recurring issues with permits and heating systems that required multiple interventions over the years. The most recent tenant buyout recorded was in July 2019 for $50,000, involving one tenant.
