155-165 Bartlett St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 155-165 Bartlett Street property is a 4-story, 17-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Bartlett Street Partners Lp. Recent significant issues include ongoing work as of December 2023 to address fungus and termite damage to exterior stairs, and current fire safety violations related to extinguishers and sprinkler systems as of November 2024.

The building has undergone substantial renovations in recent years, including the conversion of parking spaces to five ADUs (Units 13-17) in 2019, comprehensive fire safety system upgrades between 2020-2021, and various unit remodels between 2017-2021 that involved bathroom/kitchen renovations and bedroom reconfigurations across multiple units. Several historical issues were addressed between 2001-2003, including heat, plumbing, drainage, fire safety, and stair repairs, all of which were ultimately abated. The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related incidents and violations since 2019, including issues with alarm systems, sprinklers, and extinguishers.

Recent complaints from January 2024 involve construction-related noise and stair safety concerns, though these were quickly addressed. A notable fire incident occurred in 2018 requiring emergency repairs, and there have been several documented issues with building systems requiring attention, such as the 2022 complaint regarding unauthorized water heater installations. While many past violations have been abated, including the building's successful completion of required soft-story seismic retrofitting, there are ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that continue to be addressed through permits and inspections.
