1659-1661 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 1659-1661 Divisadero Street property is a three-story, mixed-use building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Zaarour Trust and featuring 4 residential units plus commercial space. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being the replacement of 19 windows in 2013 and a sewer line replacement in 2011. A notable plumbing incident occurred in September 2011 involving defective underground drains that leaked wastewater into the parking garage of 1635 Divisadero, though this issue was promptly abated within ten days.

The building has a documented history of fire safety improvements, including the installation of both manual and automatic fire detection systems in 1987, a fire suppression system in 1991, and a wet chemical/fire system upgrade in 2009. In recent months, the property has experienced some local concerns with street maintenance, particularly regarding garbage and debris issues, as evidenced by multiple Recology overflow reports between December 2024 and January 2025. There are also two instances of graffiti reported near the property in December 2024, one of which remains unresolved.

An open planning record indicates a current violation regarding unauthorized banner signs on the building. While there have been three fire department responses recorded at this address, they were for non-emergency situations including elevator rescue, smoke detector malfunction, and a good intent call, with no civilian injuries reported in any of these incidents. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrades, with no active building violations or major safety concerns reported in recent years.
