2480 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 2480 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by the Douglas Troyer Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance and safety history reveals several significant events, with the most pressing concerns arising from a series of fire safety violations documented in March 2007, including blocked exit corridors/enclosures, improperly locked exit doors, and deficiencies in fire protection equipment testing and maintenance.

These violations, while formally closed, indicate previous safety concerns that were addressed at the time. A more recent history shows some maintenance issues in the late 1990s, including a notable complaint filed in February 1998 regarding leaks in two rooms and a hallway that resulted in a ceiling collapse, though this issue was marked as abated by October 2009.

The building underwent reroofing work in 1998, which has since expired, and a street space permit was issued in 2010. Most recently, in late 2024 and early 2025, there has been a recurring issue with city garbage cans overflowing near the property, with multiple 311 calls recorded between December 2024 and January 2025, though these appear to be related to city services rather than building-specific issues. While the building appears to have maintained compliance with basic residential standards since the fire safety violations were addressed, the age of the building (118 years) and history of water-related issues suggest potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
