1455-1459 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit residential building at 1455-1459 Broderick Street, owned by Karsten and Keiko Patzwaldt, has undergone numerous improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in October 2024, a significant renovation was filed to remodel the kitchen and bathrooms, add a bedroom, construct a storage room, and replace windows across all visible facades, with an estimated cost of $110,000.

The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades over the past two decades, including a 2023 installation of a mini-split heat pump system, various apartment remodels in 2022 (kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms), and a 2018 water pipe repair that required substantial bathroom work. The property has experienced some safety and maintenance issues, particularly during a 2013 routine safety inspection that revealed multiple violations including electrical problems, fire extinguisher requirements, and roof access concerns, though all were promptly addressed within approximately one month.

Two verified fire incidents occurred, one involving a cooking fire in 2020 (contained, no injuries) and some false alarms, all of which were properly investigated and resolved. Recent activity in late 2024 has shown typical urban challenges including reports of garbage debris, blocked sidewalks, and parking issues, though these are external to the building's internal conditions. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both preventive maintenance and responsive repairs, with particular focus on upgrading living spaces and addressing infrastructure needs such as plumbing and electrical systems.
