2887-2899 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2887-2899 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Paxinos Family 1991 Trust, was constructed in 1900 and has a complex maintenance and compliance history spanning several decades. The most significant recent improvement was the comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2021, which included new smoke detectors, manual pull stations, horn strobes, and low-frequency sounders at a cost of $19,800, addressing previous fire safety concerns.

The building has undergone various maintenance work, including fiber cement siding installation in 2020, wooden stair repairs, and multiple fire safety improvements throughout its history, though some permits became expired or violated before being addressed, such as a 2001 kitchen remodel issue that prompted neighbor complaints. The property has experienced several notable fire safety violations, including multiple fire code violations in 2020, requiring attention to alarm systems and extinguishers. There are also active building violations from 2000 regarding unauthorized lightwell extension construction, though this appears to have been partially addressed through subsequent permit applications.

The building's recent maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, such as the 2020 siding work and stair repairs, while past issues have included construction without proper permits and temporary construction impacts on neighbors. Regular fire safety inspections and prompt attention to violations indicate ongoing management attention to safety compliance, particularly with the recent installation of a modern fire alarm system in 2021. The building's first floor and rear access areas have required various maintenance work over the years, including stair repairs for garbage access and emergency exit improvements.
