455 Warren Dr, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 12-unit, 4-story apartment building at 455 Warren Drive in Forest Knolls, owned by the Robert W Kent Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1960. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $80,000, achieving full compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns, with recent fire safety inspections in 2023 and 2022 identifying issues with exit maintenance that were subsequently corrected.

A concerning pattern was noted with emergency lighting and exit signs in early 2023, though this complaint is marked as not active. The building has undergone various improvements to maintain and upgrade its facilities, including a $25,000 kitchen remodel in Unit 1 in 2014, window and door replacements in 2005, balcony repairs in 2004, and multiple roofing projects in the early 1990s. A cluster of building violations was recorded in 2004 related to security features and plumbing systems, but these were all abated by September 2004.

The property has also experienced recurring issues with pavement defects in the surrounding area, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns. While there have been three documented fire safety complaints between 2021-2023, all were resolved with corrective actions taken. The building is currently undergoing routine housing inspection as of March 2023, which is still active.
