2233 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The six-story, 24-unit apartment building at 2233 Divisadero Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1929, has faced several significant maintenance and safety concerns in recent years. Most pressing is an active complaint from December 2024 regarding inadequate heating, with reports of interior temperatures consistently below 65°F and boiler operation being unreliable. The building has also experienced recurring issues with its elevator system, documented in 2014, where complaints were made about frequent breakdowns and long repair times, particularly affecting disabled residents. In 2022, concerns were raised about sagging concrete ceilings and water damage in the garage area, while another complaint from the same year noted issues with the building manager's responsiveness to resident concerns.

The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including installation of fire safety systems in the 1990s (sprinklers and fire protection in hallways), replacement of the steam boiler in 2020, and backflow device replacement in 2017. However, multiple fire safety violations have been recorded, including issues with exits/fire escapes and address numbering in 2019, though these were subsequently abated. The property has a history of building violations and complaints, with a notable cluster of issues documented in 2013 related to lead paint hazards, interior surface conditions, and weatherproofing of exterior walls. More recent concerns, particularly in 2024, have centered around heating problems and pest issues, including a November 2024 complaint about insects/rodents.

The building's plumbing and heating infrastructure has received attention over the years, with the most recent hot water heater replacement completed in September 2024. Several fire system-related complaints have been recorded and resolved, including sprinkler system and alarm system issues in 2023 and 2024. The property has also attempted to address sustainability concerns in the past, with a 1983 permit for solar collectors, though this project was ultimately cancelled. Recent 311 calls have included reports of sidewalk defects and a missing side sewer vent cover, indicating ongoing maintenance needs in both building systems and common areas.
