2065 Ellis St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 27-unit apartment building at 2065 Ellis Street in Anza Vista, constructed in 1965 and currently managed by SF Property Management Co I, has a history of maintenance and safety concerns spanning several decades. Most notably, there is an active complaint filed in December 2020 regarding the building's potential soft-story structural classification, which raises significant safety concerns about earthquake resilience. The building's fire safety systems have required particular attention, with multiple violations and corrections noted between 2019-2023, including a recent sleeping area requirement violation issued in November 2023 and previous hoarding violations in 2019-2020.

The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm system, with multiple violations related to alarm systems, sprinkler/standpipe systems, and unintentional alarm activations over the years, though most of these have been corrected following inspections. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various building system and habitability issues, particularly evident in a 2004 complaint that documented multiple deficiencies including malfunctioning electrical outlets, window problems, mold and mildew, water damage, and appliance issues. While many of these violations were abated by August 2004, subsequent routine inspections in 2007, 2010, and 2017 revealed ongoing concerns.

Recent fire safety inspections have highlighted both compliance issues and corrections needed for storage and combustion safety. The building experienced a notable number of fire department responses, primarily for system-related activations and elevator rescues, though no civilian injuries were reported in these incidents. External factors affecting the property have included ongoing issues with tree root damage to sidewalks, as documented in multiple 311 calls between 2015-2022, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance.
