2843-2845 California St, San Francisco, CA 94115

This two-unit multi-family residential building located at 2843-2845 California Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Peter B. and Rosemarie Groves, was constructed in 1900 and includes both flat and retail space.

The property has undergone several significant structural modifications, including a vertical addition and seismic upgrade completed in 1999, followed by underpinning work in 2011 costing $81,185 to stabilize soil and property line walls. Between 2017-2020, multiple fire safety issues were documented, including concerns with exit maintenance, extinguishers, alarm systems, and hazardous materials, though all were subsequently corrected according to records. The building's more recent history, particularly from 2023 to early 2025, shows significant ongoing maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity, with numerous 311 calls reporting street cleaning issues including human waste, graffiti, and debris.

Three similar sanitation-related complaints were logged as recently as January 2025, which remain in progress. While these exterior maintenance issues primarily affect the building's surroundings rather than the structure itself, they may impact resident quality of life. The property owners have historically addressed code violations and maintenance issues promptly when they occur, as evidenced by the "Condition Corrected" dispositions on various fire complaints and violations.
