998 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 21-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 998 Divisadero Street in Alamo Square, owned by Btp 998 Divisadero LLC, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1913. Most recently, in late 2023 and early 2024, the building received comprehensive fire safety upgrades, including the installation of new horns in all units tied to the existing control panel, demonstrating ongoing commitment to tenant safety.

The building completed mandatory seismic upgrades as a Tier 2 soft-story structure, including garage level improvements with shearwalls, anchor bolting, and post tie upgrades in 2010, as well as framing replacements and stucco work in 2019. A notable incident occurred in 2019 when a vehicle crashed into the property, prompting immediate repairs. The building has also experienced several fire safety-related issues, including three fire complaints in 2023-2024 regarding alarm systems and sleeping area requirements, all of which were subsequently addressed or abated.

Prior to 2023, the building faced various maintenance challenges in 2006, including issues with fire proofing, all of which were resolved. The property has been subject to routine safety inspections, and while there have been some tenant-reported concerns over the years, including construction debris in 2021 and a 1999 fire incident affecting utilities, these issues were generally resolved promptly. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate some ongoing concerns with sidewalk conditions and noise, though these are external to the building itself.
