1874-1878 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 32-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1874-1878 Market Street in Hayes Valley was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by 1874 Market Street LLC. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, including ADA compliance upgrades and bathroom conversions in 2024, involving converting showers to relaxing rooms and modifying bathroom facilities. A major soft-story upgrade was completed, with all required work now signed off and a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

The property faced several maintenance and safety challenges between 2018-2019, including multiple complaints about electrical issues, heating problems, and water shutoffs that affected residents. There were also several fire safety violations noted between 2018-2024, though most have been addressed, with the exception of a currently open violation regarding sleeping area requirements from May 2024. The building has undergone substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades since 2018, including the installation of new bathrooms, kitchen fixtures, and the replacement of water heating systems. Multiple units have received comprehensive renovations, particularly units 204, 308, 106, and 107.

Recent complaints indicate ongoing issues with construction noise and water service interruptions, though many maintenance concerns from previous years appear to have been resolved. The property has also experienced periodic problems with garbage management and sidewalk cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024. Recent building permits and planning records show continuing efforts to improve the building's infrastructure and comply with current regulations, with particular attention to bathroom conversions, ADA compliance, and soft-story requirements. While many historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the building's age and complex history suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance work is required to ensure resident safety and comfort.
