439-441 Broderick St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 439-441 Broderick Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 439 Broderick LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, including substantial bathroom and kitchen remodels in both units, with the most recent major work completed in 2015 involving the addition of new bathrooms and conversion of a toilet closet to a laundry room in unit #439.

A critical safety issue arose between 2011-2013 regarding the building's second egress, when work was performed to replace rear stairs that were taken down in October 2011, resulting in multiple complaints and violations related to stairway safety during the construction period, which was eventually resolved through proper permits and construction in 2012-2013. The building has also experienced periodic maintenance and compliance issues, with notable violations in 2019 regarding housing code violations in unit 439-A and common areas, which were abated by May 2019. Earlier violations from 2007-2019 included concerns about fire escape maintenance, security requirements, and smoke detection systems, all of which were ultimately addressed.

The property underwent an unauthorized work period in April 2015, with complaints regarding plumbing and electrical work being performed without proper permits, though this was subsequently resolved through proper permitting channels. Recent exterior maintenance issues have been reported in 2022-2024, including sidewalk defects and stormwater drainage concerns, as well as recurring parking issues around the property. The building's history also includes a notable settlement regarding illegal short-term rental activity, which has been abated and resolved according to city records.
