900 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 13-unit, 4-story apartment building at 900 Broderick Street, constructed in 1931, has undergone numerous significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Most notably, there is currently a voluntary seismic strengthening project for the first floor involving concrete shear walls and wall anchors filed in July 2024.

Recent major works include comprehensive unit renovations, with Units 9, 10, and 12 receiving kitchen and bathroom remodels, plus bedroom conversions and washer/dryer installations between 2018-2022. The building's safety systems have also been upgraded substantially, including a complete fire alarm system overhaul in 2021 to meet current code requirements, installation of new electrical panels, and various plumbing improvements including a backflow preventer installation and water supply upsizing in 2021. The property has a history of addressing various compliance and safety issues, with the most recent fire violations in 2023 and 2024 related to permit maintenance for the alarm system, which were subsequently abated.

While there have been multiple routine safety inspections showing various deficiencies in the past, including problems with interior surfaces, stairs, lighting, and fire egress in 2000, these issues were addressed and resolved by 2000. The building has experienced several system-related incidents over the years, including multiple fire alarm system malfunctions and a few minor cooking-related incidents, none resulting in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned parking violations outside the building, with several citations issued for illegal parking and driveway blocking between November 2024 and January 2025.
