1020 Post St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1020 Post Street building is a 6-story, 42-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1915 and currently owned by 1020 Post Street LLC. The property has undergone significant modernization efforts in recent years, with substantial work completed between 2020-2022, including multiple unit renovations focused on washer/dryer installations and bathroom/kitchen rehabs, particularly between January and August 2020. Major infrastructure improvements include a new water heater installation in April 2022, sewer line replacement, and various electrical upgrades.

The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly in 2022-2023. There were multiple complaints regarding water and plumbing problems, including a complete hot water outage in April 2022 and water leak concerns in the lobby area in early 2023. The property has also faced fire safety concerns, evidenced by multiple fire violations in 2023-2024 regarding UL certifications, alarm systems, and sleeping area requirements.

While historical violations from 2004 related to smoke doors, electrical outlets, and plumbing issues were resolved, recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. A significant safety incident occurred in early 2022 involving unauthorized construction of fire escapes from units 506 and 507, which reportedly resulted in water pipe damage. The building's management has generally addressed most complaints, though some violations have been referred to hearings and remain open as of the latest records. Recent 311 calls (2025) indicate issues with garbage, debris, and encampments in the vicinity, while multiple fire incidents recorded show mostly false alarms and no reported civilian injuries.
