2853-2857 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 2853-2857 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Bracht Family Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in March 2023, a substantial modification was initiated to partially infill the existing lightwell on the eastern property line, including the construction of a new elevator and mechanical room with associated window installations, representing an investment of $80,000. The building has undergone voluntary structural upgrades, particularly focusing on the ground floor garage area, with work completed in late 2018 costing approximately $20,000.

Earlier improvements included a 2018 garage ceiling repair due to water damage, and multiple fireplace-related upgrades in 2015 including installations, gas line modifications, and electrical work. The building has experienced some persistent issues requiring attention, with multiple active violations recorded since 2001 related to garage ventilation, exterior door self-closing devices, and other building requirements. A notable historical violation from 2003 regarding foundation concerns was eventually abated. The property has also undergone various plumbing and electrical improvements, including bathroom remodels and garage lighting upgrades, with all recent permits showing either completion or proper filing with no active violations.

While there was one building complaint in 2018 regarding unpermitted electrical work that took from November 2018 to January 2020 to resolve, this appears to be the only recent major compliance issue. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, including the installation of new gas fireplaces, bathroom improvements, and structural reinforcements, though some of these improvements have required multiple permits or revisions to complete. The property's 311 call history shows typical urban issues such as parking concerns and temporary moving permits, though none of these relate directly to building maintenance or safety. Recent planning records confirm the current ongoing lightwell infill project to accommodate an elevator, indicating the owner's commitment to improving accessibility and building infrastructure.
