1449-1453 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit residential building at 1449-1453 Broderick St, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Gurinder S Ahluwalia, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues spanning over two decades. Most concerning are recent events from 2024, including multiple reports of garbage and debris issues, inadequate building exterior maintenance, and complaints of rodent/insect infestation. A routine inspection was conducted in December 2015 and remains active as of October 2023.

The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs, particularly during 2004-2005, including a new fire service installation in the garage, garage addition work, foundation repairs, and electrical upgrades. Historical violations from 2004-2008 highlight various safety and habitability concerns, including foundation stability issues (2004), multiple citations for inadequate sanitation, electrical problems, lack of smoke detectors, and heating system deficiencies (2008). The building received multiple permit renewals in 2005 for various completed works, including a substantial electrical upgrade.

More recent concerns, as evidenced by 311 calls and complaints, primarily relate to exterior maintenance, waste management, and pest issues, with a pattern of identified problems regarding garbage receptacles and debris. A single carbon monoxide detector activation incident was recorded, though no CO was present. The property's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, though the persistence of recent complaints suggests ongoing building management challenges.
