2763 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 2763 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by William Jr & Betty J Bowser, was constructed in 1908 and has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an active violation from February 2022 regarding unpermitted construction of rear stairs and landing, which remains unresolved despite a subsequent permit filed in May 2023 to address the issue. The building has undergone several major infrastructure updates, including a sewer lateral repair and house trap replacement in 2019, main water supply replacement in 2012, and heating system improvements in 2010 when a new baseboard heater was installed in response to multiple complaints about inadequate heating during the winter months.

Historical maintenance records show a roofing project completed in 1995, though this permit has since expired. The building has a documented history of heating system concerns, particularly in early 2010, when multiple complaints were filed regarding insufficient heat and temperature maintenance. While these issues appear to have been addressed at the time, they were significant enough to require immediate intervention. More recent building violations and complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the rear stairs construction, which triggered a violation process including a final warning letter in April 2023.

Fire incident records show three responses, including a gas leak incident, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The surrounding area has experienced periodic issues with garbage, debris, and encampments, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024, though these are external to the building itself. The property's maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with multiple instances requiring intervention from city authorities to address habitability concerns. While some infrastructure improvements have been made, recent active violations regarding unpermitted construction work suggest ongoing challenges with compliance and maintenance oversight.
