1965 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1965 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Hiroshi & Joyce T Nakai 2003 Trust, was constructed in 1961 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015, achieving compliance with current building safety standards.

Recent renovations include a comprehensive update of Unit #2 in 2022, featuring kitchen and bathroom improvements, and electrical panel relocations in both Unit #2 (2022) and Unit #5 (2023) to improve safety and accessibility. The property has experienced recurring issues with water damage and wood rot, particularly in the siding, with repairs undertaken in 2019 addressing rot at the front facade and bay windows, following earlier remediation of deck joists in 2002. Historical maintenance records indicate the building has kept up with major systems improvements, including a 1994 reroofing project and a 1984 code compliance update.

The building has been subject to regular housing inspections, with records from 2001, 2010, and 2016 showing compliance with housing standards, though a fire proofing violation was noted and subsequently resolved in 2002. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement calls regarding vehicles blocking driveways, with several citations issued between October 2023 and September 2024, though these are external to the building's operation and maintenance. The property has maintained an active response to infrastructure needs, as evidenced by the various repair permits totaling significant investments, including a $63,400 siding repair project and a $26,000 kitchen and bathroom renovation, demonstrating ongoing commitment to building upkeep and resident comfort.
