900 Ashbury St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 900 Ashbury Street in Buena Vista Park, known as Pelican's Nest Tr, was constructed in 1908 and currently contains four units. The property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance projects over the years, with the most recent work occurring in 2024, focusing on non-structural renovations to Basement Apartment A, including insulation, heating system installation, and cosmetic finishes, along with the installation of a new mini-split heat pump system and electrical upgrades.

Notable recent improvements include the 2021 installation of a roof-mounted solar PV system (8.64 kW) with EV charging capability, and major electrical system upgrades in 2008 including a 400-amp service change due to water damage. The building has maintained good compliance with housing inspections, with routine inspections conducted in 2000, 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2014 showing no significant ongoing issues.

Historical records show the building was converted from a 9-bedroom hotel/social club to a 4-unit apartment building, with various permits issued between 2007-2009 for balcony replacement, deck construction, and interior renovations including a master bathroom remodel. The property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk access, but these have been promptly addressed. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, including plumbing work for kitchen and bathroom renovations, though some permits from 2007-2009 did require renewal to obtain final inspection approvals.
