2140-2144 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building at 2140-2144 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its recent history. Most notably, there are current concerns regarding electrical work, with two complaints filed in 2024 - one reporting sparks from an electrical pipe and another about unpermitted electrical construction involving recessed lighting and chandeliers, with the latter complaint having been filed just two weeks ago as of October 2023.

In September 2010, the building underwent a routine inspection that revealed multiple fire safety violations, including issues with handrails, the central alarm system, and the fire escape drop ladder, though these violations were all abated by December 2010. The building's maintenance history shows a reroofing project from 1998 (now expired) and a code compliance improvement project from 1986.

The property has experienced various exterior and infrastructure issues, as documented through 311 calls, including reports of graffiti (2015/2019), illegal postings (2019-2021), and sidewalk defects (2021). A routine housing inspection occurred in September 2010 prior to the fire safety violations being noted, and while there are records of other routine inspections dating back to 1996, the recent electrical concerns and historical fire safety violations raise ongoing safety considerations. The building's only documented fire incident was classified as a "500 Service Call, other" with no civilian injuries reported.
