1845 Cabrillo St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1845 Cabrillo Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1929 and is currently owned by 716-720 20th Avenue LLC. The building is experiencing several active maintenance and compliance issues as of 2024, particularly concerning its heating system. There are two active complaints regarding an expired boiler permit from 2024, and a water heater installation without proper permits. These heating system-related concerns follow a pattern, as similar permit renewal issues were noted in 2013.

The building has undergone some significant safety upgrades, including a recent fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 costing over $35,000 to comply with current fire safety codes. This follows a series of fire safety-related citations from 2016-2023, including multiple complaints about alarm systems, exit maintenance, and street numbering, though most of these were either found to have no merit or the conditions were corrected. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, with a cluster of violations documented in 2016 relating to various issues including fire alarm systems, smoke enclosure doors, electrical outlets, garbage receptacles, water damage, and interior surfaces. These violations were all abated by May 2016.

More recent issues include 2020 complaints about exposed wiring and power outages, 2021 reports of water leaks in the garage, and ongoing concerns about the building's structural integrity. The building's systems have seen some updates, including a completed steam boiler replacement in 2011 and various maintenance work such as stair rail additions in 2016. Historical records show earlier routine maintenance and compliance checks, including intercom system issues in 2014 and multiple fire safety inspections dating back to 2006. While many past violations and complaints have been resolved, the recurring nature of heating system permit issues and recent active complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
