575 Pierce St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The six-story, 36-unit multi-family residential building at 575 Pierce Street in Alamo Square, owned by 2852 Associates LP, was constructed in 1930 and has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly in fire safety systems. In 2024, fire sprinkler installations were completed on the first floor, following a major fire system upgrade in 2022 that included new control panels, smoke detectors, and low-frequency horns. Building renovations between 2019-2024 demonstrate systematic unit upgrades, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple apartments (units 102, 202, 301, 403, and 605), with associated electrical and plumbing work.

The property is currently undergoing ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) modifications on the ground floor, including new hydronic baseboard heaters and utilities. The building has experienced several regulatory issues and complaints over recent years, though most have been resolved promptly. Two fire safety violations were recorded in 2023-2024 regarding extinguishers and sleeping area requirements, both of which were abated.

Housing violations and complaints have included concerns about construction practices and debris management, particularly during 2016-2020 when issues were noted regarding lead paint containment and work site management. Recent 311 calls (January 2025) indicate ongoing concerns about sidewalk maintenance and garbage management around the property, including multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans. Prior complaints during the construction period (2020) also raised concerns about COVID-19 safety protocol adherence, though these were ultimately closed as not active.
