1865 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 3-story, 18-unit apartment building at 1865 Bush Street, owned by Mwc Enterprises Llc, was constructed in 1962 and is classified as a multi-family residential building of 15 units or more. The property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent being a re-roofing project in 2024 costing $64,860. Notable structural improvements include completion of the mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (with a cost of $200,000) and various window and siding replacements to address maintenance issues.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly related to moisture damage, with multiple siding repairs documented between 2012-2016, including significant dry rot repairs on the west elevation wall. The property has also faced several fire safety-related issues, including violations concerning fire escape drop ladders, smoke enclosure doors, and fire extinguisher maintenance in 2002 and 2017, though all violations were subsequently abated. Recent fire complaints (2023-2024) indicate ongoing concerns with alarm systems and sleeping area requirements, with a current open violation as of December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements.

The building's history includes various housing inspections and violations, with the most serious issues documented in 2002 when multiple fire safety violations were recorded, including problems with smoke enclosure doors and fire escape ladders. A significant complaint from 1998 raised concerns about possible illegal storage in an unsprinklered area, though this was resolved. Recent years have seen fewer major structural or safety issues, with the building appearing to address most maintenance matters as they arise. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily relating to external issues such as illegal postings, sidewalk concerns, and parking violations, though these are not directly related to building conditions.
