1616-1620 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94115

This three-story, multi-family residential building located at 1616-1620 Broderick Street in Lower Pacific Heights, was constructed in 1905 and contains three units. The property has undergone numerous renovations and repairs over the years, with significant work performed between 2006 and 2012, including major electrical upgrades, plumbing improvements, and bathroom remodels on various floors. A notable renovation in 2008 involved the removal of an illegal unit and appliances, conversion of spaces into storage rooms, and installation of new systems.

The building has experienced several maintenance challenges, with a recurring issue of plumbing problems documented in 2018 regarding a non-draining sink and garbage disposal, and earlier water-related issues in 2009 including refrigerator leaks and potential mildew concerns. More recently, there have been consistent reports of rodent infestations, with the most recent complaint filed in May 2024. The property has maintained its core systems, with permits showing installation of two tankless water heaters and two furnaces in 2008, as well as significant electrical rewiring and panel upgrades in 2012.

Historical violations from 2000 related to various building codes, including fire safety and sanitation issues, were resolved by 2009. The building's only recorded fire incident was a minor equipment-related building fire, though there have been occasional false alarms and smoke scares with no reported injuries. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing concerns with waste management compliance, particularly regarding garbage receptacle placement, though these are primarily related to exterior maintenance rather than building safety issues.
