The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2355 Scott Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1962, has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with particular attention to safety and modernization.

Major renovations include the conversion of garage space to new dwelling units in 2017 (valued at $355,000), comprehensive interior renovations of 12 existing apartments in 2016 ($700,000), and the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2020-2021, which enhanced the building's fire safety infrastructure. The building's maintenance and safety systems have received regular attention, with upgrades to the fire alarm system in 2021 to comply with current codes, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and sprinkler monitoring. Recent building improvements include waterproofing work and window upgrades completed in 2022.

While the building has experienced various maintenance issues in the past, including some fire safety violations and complaints about mold, lighting, and water damage in 2010, these were addressed and abated, with no active violations currently on record. The property has maintained compliance with housing regulations through regular inspections and prompt attention to identified issues, though there were periods of boiler permit renewal complications in 2019-2020 that were ultimately resolved. The building's recent history shows a pattern of proactive maintenance and upgrades, focusing on both resident comfort and safety compliance.
