415 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 415 Buchanan Street property is a 27-unit, four-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 415 Buchanan G1 LP. The building has undergone significant recent maintenance and improvements, with particular attention to addressing infrastructure and safety systems. Completion of soft-story retrofitting was achieved with a Certificate of Final Compliance (CFC) issued, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent major works include comprehensive dry rot repairs in multiple units (2022-2023), fire alarm system upgrades to current code requirements (2021-2024), and various unit renovations including kitchen conversions, bathroom rehabilitations, and washer/dryer installations across multiple apartments (2020-2024). The building has maintained active compliance with fire safety requirements, though there have been recurring fire system maintenance issues noted between 2022-2024, including violations related to sprinkler systems and alarm systems that were subsequently addressed and abated. The property's maintenance history shows attention to both resident comfort and building systems, with significant investments in plumbing infrastructure including new tankless water heaters, backflow systems, and building-wide water supply upgrades (2020-2022).

Historical inspection records from 2000-2008 indicate past building code violations related to fire safety, security, and building maintenance, though these issues were resolved as evidenced by the absence of active violations since 2020. Recent service calls from late 2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues such as tree management and sidewalk cleaning. The building's management has generally responded promptly to maintenance requirements, though there have been periodic violations requiring correction, particularly regarding fire safety systems which have consistent inspection and maintenance requirements.
