155 Buchanan St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-unit apartment building at 155 Buchanan Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Ginther Odonnell Fmly Lvg T, has undergone substantial renovations since 2014, when a major $360,000 project was initiated to reconfigure unit layouts, install new kitchens and bathrooms, and improve exterior elements including entryways and fire safety features. The renovation included the installation of a fire sprinkler system in the back units, new fire-rated glass block openings, and significant plumbing updates including bathroom remodels, kitchen improvements, and a new radiant heating system with modern boilers.

Additional improvements completed in 2015 included electrical upgrades with a 200-amp service installation and solar panel deployment. The building's safety features were notably enhanced during this period, with the installation of fire sprinklers, upgraded fire safety systems, and the replacement of two forced air furnaces.

Historical records show some past complaints and violations from 2005, primarily relating to security and safety issues such as garbage receptacle placement and exterior door requirements, though these were all resolved by May 2005. The building's maintenance and responsiveness to issues appear to have improved significantly following the 2014-2015 renovations, with only standard urban challenges noted in recent years, such as occasional graffiti and noise complaints, all of which were addressed through appropriate channels. Recent 311 calls have mostly concerned external street conditions rather than building-specific issues, suggesting that the major renovation period addressed many of the building's previous concerns and improved overall resident experience and safety.
