1945 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 12-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1945 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Konko Kyo Church Of SF, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1973. Most recently, in January 2024, the building received an upgrade to its hot water system with the installation of a new Laars hot water boiler and 80-gallon tank.

Earlier maintenance included the replacement of dry-rotted guardrails on decks in 2016. The building has undergone several routine inspections over the years, with a significant pattern of boiler-related issues emerging. In 2010, there was a problem with an unpermitted boiler operation that wasn't resolved until 2014, and in 2017, a violation was issued regarding the alarm system maintenance.

The property's historical issues include multiple fire safety violations from 2016-2019 concerning alarm systems, extinguishers, and combustible materials, though most were marked as "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected." There were also earlier heating system concerns in 1995, and a significant violation in 2001 involving gas utility safety requirements, which were promptly abated. The building's surrounding area has experienced various municipal service calls, particularly in 2021-2022, primarily related to sidewalk tree root damage, general cleaning, and parking enforcement issues, though these are external to the building itself. While the property's maintenance record shows periodic attention to repairs and system upgrades, the sequence of boiler and fire safety violations suggests ongoing attention may be required for these systems, while the prompt resolution of most violations indicates responsive management to identified issues.
