390 Liberty St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 14-unit, 3-story apartment building at 390 Liberty Street, constructed in 1929 and owned by 390 Liberty A2 LP, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. Between 2018 and 2023, the property completed numerous unit renovations, including kitchen relocations, bathroom rehabilitations, and washer/dryer installations in multiple units (1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 15), with associated electrical and plumbing upgrades. A major water main replacement was completed in February 2023, and the building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2023 after resolving inspection issues related to a roof collapse incident during earlier retrofit work in 2019.

The building experienced several notable safety and compliance events, including a lead paint violation and weatherproofing problems in 2016-2017 that were subsequently addressed, and multiple fire safety system violations in 2018-2019 that were corrected. Historical records show past concerns with fire escape maintenance and emergency lighting from 2007, which were resolved. Recent activity at the property has included multiple 311 calls regarding the immediate vicinity, primarily related to garbage and debris in 2024, though these do not directly reflect building conditions.

There are current plans under review for the possible demolition of ground floor spaces and addition of three ADU units. Tenant buyout records indicate two buyouts occurred in 2016 (totaling $52,500) and one in 2017 ($2,500), though specific unit information is not provided. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to individual units and building systems, including a significant 2019 fire alarm system upgrade to meet current codes with the addition of wireless sounders in sleeping areas.
