45 Brosnan St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 45 Brosnan Street, owned by 45 Brosnan LLC, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone several significant updates in recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $85,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco Building Code requirements. Recent improvements include a $47,750 reroofing project initiated in September 2023, and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in August 2023 to meet current safety standards, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices.

The building has faced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the years, with active complaints as of 2023 regarding boiler permit renewal and various common area maintenance requirements. A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in 2016, relating to various repair needs including flooring, door hardware, plumbing fixtures, and paint-related concerns, all of which were subsequently abated. The building underwent a kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit #5 in 2022, and earlier work included plumbing system updates such as water heater replacement in 2014 and sewer trap replacement in 2012.

The property's fire safety systems have required attention, with three fire complaints recorded between 2007 and 2024, though most were found to have no merit or were promptly corrected. The building has maintained its soft-story compliance status (Tier 3) and completed its required seismic improvements. While there have been recurring issues with the boiler permit that span multiple years, recent maintenance activity suggests ongoing attention to building systems. The property's maintenance history shows regular updates to both individual units and common areas, though some common area issues remain under active review by city authorities as of 2023.
