1812-1816 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1812-1816 Anza Street, owned by Rebecca Nichols and located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, was constructed in 1915 and currently contains three units. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, including the completion of a new dwelling unit on the ground floor (July 2024), installation of a new fire alarm system and sprinkler monitoring system (October 2020), and comprehensive fire safety upgrades including 21 new fire sprinklers throughout the ground floor and basement (September 2020).

Multiple permits have been issued in 2024 to obtain final inspections for previously approved work, totaling several thousand dollars in improvements, including plumbing work for a new fire service connection and electrical upgrades for the new dwelling unit. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2014 and 2024, including electrical clearance issues, sprinkler obstructions, and alarm system maintenance problems. Most recently, in November 2024, the property received violations related to electrical work space clearance, space heaters, sprinkler system issues, and fire extinguisher service requirements.

These violations have been marked as abated, indicating they were addressed by the property owner. The building has also experienced periodic issues with illegal parking, garbage disposal, and street lighting outside the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance. Additionally, planning records indicate efforts to convert the ground floor into meeting space for a religious institution were proposed but ultimately disapproved, and there have been various renovation projects over the years including bathroom and laundry room remodels, steam furnace installation, and electrical system upgrades.
