2341 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2341 Divisadero Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1911, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple safety-related issues over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2020 (at a cost of $90,000), achieving compliance with San Francisco Building Code requirements.

Recent safety upgrades include the installation of a new fire alarm system with modern components in 2020 (cost: $13,624), following a history of fire safety-related complaints and inspections between 2016-2024 that concerned hazardous materials, fire extinguishers, and sprinkler systems - though most of these complaints were found to have no merit or were otherwise resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical systems, with a new steam boiler installed in 2016 (236k BTU) replacing the old unit that triggered several permit compliance issues in 2016.

Other notable improvements include window replacements in 2010 (five vinyl windows in Apartment #6), a comprehensive sewer line and house trap replacement in 2010, and exterior stair repairs in 2004. While the building has experienced various maintenance and safety inspections over the years (including routine safety inspections in 2013 and 2016), most building violations and complaints have been promptly addressed, with no active violations recorded as of 2024. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned street-related issues such as parking, garbage, and tree maintenance, suggesting generally responsive management to building systems and safety requirements.
