1871-1873 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1871-1873 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1890, has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent and substantial work commencing in late 2024 involving comprehensive renovations to both units including bathroom and laundry room updates, plus kitchen remodeling in unit 1873, with permitted costs totaling $90,000. In 2021, the building received new sound-insulated wooden windows, with 15 custom double-hung and fixed sash windows installed in street-facing openings, followed by a deck extension to the rear yard completed in 2019.

Earlier renovations include a kitchen remodel in 2011 and various utility upgrades including electrical panel work and plumbing improvements. The building has experienced several standard safety incidents, primarily related to false alarms and system activations, including three fire alarm system issues (2006, 2013, 2017) and one sprinkler/standpipe system concern, all of which were corrected promptly.

There has been one contained cooking fire, confirmed by the Fire Department, with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external issues such as street cleaning, abandoned vehicles, and encampments in the vicinity, rather than building-specific problems. The property has maintained compliance with building codes and regulations, as evidenced by the regular issuance of permits for improvements and the absence of any recorded planning code complaints.
