1002-1030 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 104-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1002-1030 Buchanan Street, owned by Fd Haynes Apartments LP and built in 1973, has undergone significant infrastructure improvements and faced several maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade was completed in 2020, installing new equipment across all buildings, followed by the installation of solar water heating systems in 2022.

The building underwent major plumbing renovations in 2021, including updates to multiple units and new boiler installations. Recent complaints from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing issues with water and power systems, including a power and water outage in October 2023, concerns about hot water availability, and problems with the garbage disposal area.

The property has also experienced safety concerns, with multiple firefighter violations issued in 2023-2024 related to sleeping area requirements and alarm systems, though many have been subsequently abated. Recent maintenance issues include water intrusion, structural concerns about patio access, and garbage management problems. While major building systems have been systematically upgraded, recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance, though many historical violations from earlier years (2005-2007) have been resolved, including various internal surface repairs, electrical fixture issues, and weatherproofing concerns.
