2249 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-unit residential building at 2249 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by the Edward Litke Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the past few decades, most notably a soft story retrofit completed in 2017 to enhance seismic resilience, and a recent fire egress stair replacement completed in June 2024 at a cost of $50,000. Earlier structural work included underpinning in 1998, reroofing in 2003, and stair repairs addressing wood rot in 2003.

A notable tenant complaint from 1998 regarding a broken refrigerator persisted until 2009. The building has experienced numerous fire alarm activations, though none resulted in injuries or confirmed fires; these incidents primarily involved unintentional alarm activations, system malfunctions, or false calls. The surrounding area has been experiencing recurring encampment issues, with multiple reports between December 2024 and January 2025, all of which were resolved through clean-up efforts, some involving social services outreach.

There are also recent issues with garbage and debris that have been addressed by city services. A current open issue from December 2024 involves an overgrown tree requiring attention. While the building's permit history shows regular maintenance and safety upgrades, the recent pattern of encampments and debris issues in the immediate vicinity may affect resident experience.
