399 Fremont St, San Francisco, CA 94105

The 399 Fremont Street residential tower, owned by Om/udr Sf Llc, is a 42-story, 448-unit high-rise built in 2016 in the Financial District South neighborhood. Recent significant issues include ongoing elevator problems, with multiple complaints in late 2023 and 2024 reporting extended outages, including all elevators being out of service for hours on August 13, 2024 (with one recent complaint mentioning possible expired permit posting in an elevator). Water intrusion has been a major concern, particularly with two floods affecting unit 3907 in June and July 2024, resulting in subsequent demolition work and tenant complaints about habitability.

The building has experienced multiple fire code violations throughout 2023-2024, including issues with extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and general fire safety compliance. Elevator service has been a persistent problem, with complaints in December 2023 noting multiple breakdowns and residents being trapped inside elevators. The building's maintenance record shows various repair and improvement work being performed, including recent boiler installations in January 2025, drywall repairs, and compliance work in 2024.

Historical records indicate the building underwent significant fire safety system installations in 2018, including new fire alarm devices and sprinkler systems. The property has made efforts to comply with regulations, such as the recent permit filed in July 2024 to memorialize non-accessory parking designation. However, the pattern of recent complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding elevator reliability and fire safety compliance. The property is also in the process of transitioning some parking spaces from residential to public use, as evidenced by recent permits and planning documents.
