2250 Bay St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 21-unit apartment building at 2250 Bay Street, owned by 2250 Bay St LLC, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1928 that has undergone several significant safety-related upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in early 2024 costing over $47,000, including a new fire panel and updated devices to comply with current fire code requirements.

The building has a history of fire safety compliance issues, with multiple violations and complaints between 2015 and 2024 related to extinguishers, alarm systems, and sleeping area requirements, though most were promptly addressed or abated. The building's seismic safety was addressed through a garage level and first floor upgrade completed in 1990, and there were several kitchen cabinet replacements between 1986-1995, though some related permits expired without completion. A notable cluster of fire safety violations occurred between 2023-2024, including issues with emergency lighting, sleeping area requirements, and fire system maintenance, though these have all been abated.

The building experienced a building fire (classified as "111 Building fire") with no civilian injuries, and there have been recurring issues with fire escape maintenance and smoke detector systems. Regular routine inspections have been conducted over the years, with the most recent significant inspections occurring in 2016 and 2014 related to fire safety and soft story retrofit compliance. While parking violations and driveway blocking issues have been reported frequently (as evidenced by recent 311 calls), these are external to the building itself.
