602 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 602 Broderick St, owned by M & K Klestoff 1990 Family Trust, was constructed in 1902 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, in early 2024, a fire alarm system upgrade was initiated to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, following previous fire safety enhancements including a 2016 fire sprinkler system installation in the garage area.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, with multiple fire alarm system and fire extinguisher-related complaints between 2016 and 2024, though most were marked as corrected or abated, with the most recent violation being addressed in November 2024. The property has undergone substantial modernization work, including a 2016 renovation of Unit 5 involving kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and similar improvements in Unit 4 during 2015. Infrastructure improvements include new central heating systems (2015-2017), plumbing upgrades (such as new water service and laundry facilities in 2016), and electrical system enhancements including garage lighting improvements in 2017.

The building was identified as a soft-story structure in 2020, which remains an active concern according to a complaint filed that December. Recent building inspections (2023) and multiple street space permits (2015-2018) indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, though there have been periodic concerns about construction work and related disruptions in the vicinity. The property has also been subject to various 311 reports in 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance issues, which appear to be typical for the area and have generally been resolved promptly.
