2820-2822 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 2820-2822 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by John Tam and Lana Lee. The building has undergone extensive renovations over recent years, with the most significant work occurring from 2018 through 2024. Major improvements include comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels, bedroom additions, and the installation of a new interior staircase in 2020 costing $109,000.

In 2018, substantial work was completed on the third floor including bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, and office addition, along with deck expansion and new stair construction from the third floor to the yard, totaling $95,000 across multiple permits. The electrical system received significant upgrades in 2021 with rewiring of both units and installation of numerous modern fixtures and safety equipment, including 10 smoke detectors. More recently, there have been concerning issues regarding the property's maintenance and safety. As of January 2024, a blight report was filed regarding a boarded-up garage door (which was also reportedly graffitied) and a broken window with jagged edges, raising both security and fire hazard concerns.

This complaint was still active as of its filing date. The building is currently undergoing additional bathroom improvements, with permits filed in mid-2024 for new master bathroom construction and plumbing work valued at $17,000. Historical records show the property has had some minor parking and sidewalk-related complaints, though these were resolved without significant issues. The building's transformation over the past five years indicates substantial investment in modernization and improvements, though the recent maintenance concerns warrant attention.
