2855-2859 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94115

This 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2855-2859 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by David George, was constructed in 1912 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance events over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2006 and 2006-2009, there were multiple construction-related violations and complaints, including unauthorized demolition of a bathroom in unit #102 and concerns about foundation work, though these issues were subsequently resolved. The building experienced several critical maintenance events in 2010, including reports of mold, crumbling stairs, and plumbing problems, which required significant repairs including replacement of dry-rotted stair components.

Multiple permits for plumbing and electrical work indicate ongoing infrastructure improvements, with the most recent significant works including a gas service upgrade in 2013 and various bathroom and kitchen renovations in units #104 and #102. Recent history shows the building has had typical urban maintenance issues, including sidewalk defects (most recently reported in August 2024), garbage concerns, and minor plumbing issues. There were two heat detector activations recorded, though neither resulted in fire or injuries.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and response to violations, with most issues being promptly addressed through appropriate permits and repairs. The property's monitoring systems, including heat detectors and gas safety measures, have been maintained, with no recent serious safety violations on record. The most recent building permits and violations suggest that most major infrastructure issues have been addressed, though routine maintenance continues to be required for this century-old structure.
