750 Presidio Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 21-unit multi-family residential building at 750 Presidio Ave in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1928 and classified as a 3-story apartment building, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced various maintenance challenges. The property completed major infrastructure upgrades in 2022, including the installation of new steam heating and domestic hot water boilers with storage tanks. In 2024, substantial unit-specific improvements were initiated, particularly in Unit 305 (with ongoing work as of December 2024 involving bathroom remodeling and kitchen relocation) and recently completed renovations in Unit 106 (including HVAC system installation and kitchen/bathroom remodel).

The building's safety systems have received attention, with a June 2024 permit filed for voluntary system replacement and mandatory low-frequency horns, though there remain open violations related to sleeping area requirements as of December 2023. The property's maintenance history reveals recurring issues requiring attention to building systems and safety features. Recent fire safety concerns include multiple violations in 2023-2024 related to fire alarms and sprinklers, though many were promptly corrected.

Notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofitting work in 2015, achieving compliance with San Francisco requirements. Historical complaints show various issues over time, including heating problems in 1999 and water heater-related concerns in 2009. While recent violations appear to be addressed in a timely manner, there have been recurring issues with garbage disposal as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in late 2024 regarding overflowing city garbage cans. The building's fire incident history shows multiple false alarms and detector activations, though no civilian injuries have been reported in recent years, with the most recent actual fire incident occurring in 2016.
